Tips for purchasing crockery

• Good quality dishes feature thick flat
bottom. Uneven bottom of the dish causes
increased consumption of energy and
extended cooking time.
• When purchasing new crockery carefully
check if the diameter quoted refers to the
upper rim or the bottom. The latter is
usually always smaller.
• Use of pressure cookers additionally
saves energy, since food is prepared in a
closed dish and under pressure.
Furthermore, shorter cooking time
preserves the vitamin contents.
• When using high radiation (bright metal
surface) crockery, or thick bottom dishes
for preparing food on the glass ceramic
hob, the period of reaching the boiling
point may be prolonged for certain time
(up to 10 minutes). Consequently, if you
need to boil considerable amount of liquid,
it is recommended to use the dark, flat
bottom pot.

Tips for effective use of crockery

• The best transfer of energy is obtained if
the bottom diameter of the dish is identical
to the hotplate diameter, and if the dish is
placed exactly in the center of the
hotplate.
• If the diameter differs, it is always better to
have bigger crockery than smaller. The
loss of energy is greater, and stains may
be burned to the hotplate.
• Use pot lids and cover your cookware
whenever possible.
• The dish size should always suit the
quantity of food. Excessively big pot
wastes too much energy.
• Reduce power regulation towards the end
of cooking, and switch the hotplate off
before cooking is complete, to be able to
use the remaining heat.
• Always provide adequate quantity of water
when cooking in the pressure cooker.

Instructions for use, installation and connection
Lack of water may cause damage to the
dish and to the hotplate.
• Temperature resistant glass cookware is
suitable for use with the hotplate if the
bottom diameter of such dish is adequate
to the diameter of the hotplate. Dish
protruding over the hotplate edge may
break as a consequence of created
thermal tension.
• When using special cookware, always
follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips for the use of oven

• If possible use dark, silicone coated or
enamel baking pans, because of their
excellent thermal conductivity.
• Preheating of oven is necessary only if
recommended by the recipe or if written in
the chart below.
