5.3 Advice on energy-saving

Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the
container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan
leads to a waste of energy.
