Cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
●
spills that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
●
setting.
Start cooking on a high setting. When food comes to the boil, reduce the setting and
●
maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking
time.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
●
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
●
Cookware
Use saucepans with thick flat bases. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take
●
longer to cook.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat
●
onto your benchtop and damage its surface.
Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the pan
●
supports or deflect the flame.
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large
●
burner is not efficient.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan
base diameters that may be used on each burner:
