A thick pan bottom prevents partial over-
heating as it allows sufficient thermic com-
pensation.
Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow
pans are more suitable than narrow and
deep ones as they allow a faster heating.
Cooking is not quickened by placing narrow
pans on wide burners. The result is just a
waste of gas. For a proper usage, place small
pans on small burners and large pans on
large burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce gas
consumption.
Using the hotplate
Saucepans suitable for use on solid hotplate
should have several characteristics:
• they should be heavy duty
•they should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER
smaller
•they should have a flat base to ensure
good contact with the plate
This is particularly important when using
pans for high temperature frying or pressure
cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liq-
uids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
For best results we advise you to initially
regulate the switch to rapid to accelerate
the heating of the plate and then turn the
switch to the position most suitable for
the food to be cooked.
