THE GAS HOB
SELECTING THE HOB
USES OF THE HOB
The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food
such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.
See page 21.
