Choosing Your Utensils

WARNING: Extreme caution should be taken to avoid steam
burns and hot surfaces when cleaning up spillage to the hot hob.
1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth
or a paper towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob.
2. When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a
utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar
spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be
cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred,
remove it as long as it is still hot with a metal handled razor-blade
scraper, commercially available. This will avoid any damage.
NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.
If sugar spillage has occurred, it can be removed (providing it is still
hot), with a commercially available razor blade scraper. Belling provide
a complete care kit for your ceramic hob - Please call 01709 579907 and
quote part number Belling 024.
3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the
ceramic hob.
Never use utensils with rough bases.
Never use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases.
Never use lightweight enamelled steel utensils.
Never use cast iron utensils.
Never use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases.
Never use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than 1mm as this
will reduce the performance of the hob.
Never use a utensil with a convex base.
Never use glass ceramic utensils.
Never use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on
ceramic or halogen hotplates.
Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard
wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy
and do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually
lined with a different material such as tin.
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel
is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and
halogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans
manufacturers' recommendations.
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper
are excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with
aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs, the
use of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers'
recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the
pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every
use, when using this type of saucepan.
If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of
small copper deposits on the surface of your hob, which, if not cleaned
after each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.
Always lift the pan from the hob, Never drag or slide across the hob
surface as damage may occur.
