Helpful hints and tips
INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking uses a strong electromagnetic
field to induce energy into the metal of the cookware.
This energy makes the cookware become hot.
Cookware for induction cooking
ImpOrTAnT
It is important to use cookware that is appropriate
for induction cooking. When purchasing cookware
always check the manufacturers specifications.
Cookware material
• C orrect: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless
steel, the bottom made of multi-layer.
• n ot correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if...
• s ome water boils very quickly on a zone set to the
highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and
flat as possible.
Use of the cooking zones
ImpOrTAnT
Always ensure the normal sized cookware is centred
over the crosses of the heating zones. Extremely
large cookware however cook on two cooking zones
at the same time.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• I f possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• P ut cookware on a cooking zone before you
start it.
• U se the residual heat to keep the food warm or
to melt it.
• D o not use cookware where the base diameter is
smaller than 125mm.
Eco timer
Whenever the countdown timer is used the heat setting
will deactivate before the final countdown time is
reached. Residual heat left in the cookware will complete
the final stage of cooking and hence some energy is
saved. The difference in the operation time depends
on the heat setting level and the length of the cooking
operation.
