Choosing Your Utensils
Energy Saving Tips
USING THE HOB
Any type of flat based kettle or pan from 100mm (4in.) to 230mm (9in.) base
diameter may be used. Do not use pans which are unstable when placed on a
flat work-top. The use of split pans, i.e. those comprising two or more pans
designed to fit together over a single burner, is not recommended as these
can be unstable on the hotplate. Asbestos mats should not be used on the
pan supports because they may impede burner performance or damage the
pan support.
In order to get best value out of your hob, the following economy tip is
recommended. Choose the correct burner for the size of pan.
1
Do use saucepans with lids.
2
Place pans centrally over burner.
3
Do not allow flames to lick up the sides of the pan.
5
Turn down the gas as soon as the contents of the pan boil.
6
Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off before
removing the pan.
7
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces so that they cook quicker and cook
more than one vegetable in the same pan, e.g. carrots and potatoes.
8
In hard water areas descale kettles regularly.
9
Consider using a pressure cooker.
