Selecting Cookware - Miele CS1122E Operating And Installation Instructions

Following these tips will allow you to
make the most of your ceramic
combiset.
The cooking surface
The ceramic combiset is made of an
extremely hard and durable material.
The surface is scratch resistant, not
scratch proof. Avoid using cookware
with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with
dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may
scratch the combiset if they are pulled
across the ceramic surface.
Make sure the combiset and pot
bottoms are clean before cooking.
Certain items, particularly sugar grains
or crystallized liquids such as molasses
or syrups are harder than ceramic and
can scratch the surface if they are not
cleaned off immediately. Small or light
scratches will not affect the safety or
performance of the combiset.

Selecting cookware

Pots and pans
Special cookware is not required, but
as is true with all types of cooking
appliances, the better the cookware,
the better the performance.
– For the most even and energy
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans closed while cooking. This
helps keep in the most possible heat.
– For longer cooking periods, you can
switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10
minutes before the total cooking time
is completed. The residual heat will
continue to cook the food.
