10. Cooking suggestions

10.1 Suggestions for using the hob burners correctly

The diameter of the base of cooking recipients
should fit the diameter of the burner used (see
adjacent table). The burner flame must never be
wider than the diameter of the recipient. Use
recipients with a flat base. Where possible use
pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be
used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables,
potatoes, etc., use little water.

10.2 Suggestions for using the fry-top / steak grill correctly

The fry-top griddle is smooth, whereas the steak grill is lined and can be used to obtain the typical
rhomboidal pattern together with the delicious flavour of barbecue cooking.
Foods cooked on the fry-top/steak grill have a special taste that does not require the excessive use
of spices. It is possible to cook in different ways. For example, different foods, such as meat and
fish, can be cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with
flavoured oil or marinating it for a few hours.
A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices do not come
out prematurely.

10.3 Suggestions for using the vitroceramic hob correctly

In order to obtain good efficiency and adequate energy consumption, it is essential to use only
recipients that are suitable for electric cooking. The diameter of the base of the recipient must be
the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they do not
correspond.
The base of the recipient must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as
should the glass on the hob.
Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface.
When using the vitroceramic hob, it must be thoroughly cleaned before switching on the heating
elements.
The glass may be scratched if pans are placed on abrasive residues. Any scratches do not
however jeopardise the cooking procedure.
The ideal thickness for the base of the pans is:
Before cooking food with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), apply a protective product to the cooking
surface to prevent it from being damaged if the food spits or boils over.

10.4 Suggestions for using the oven correctly

The oven allows to optimise cooking. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with
the grill.
The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking.
