Hints and tips for using the cooking
zones
Adjust the cooking zones correctly.
Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until
the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce the setting
as far as possible, without the food going off the boil.
Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan may
increase the electricity consumption by up to 50 per
cent. Check whether your saucepans have level bases
by placing the item in question upside down on a work
top and positioning a ruler on the base.
A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong
the cooking time and increase the energy consumption.
The saucepan should match the cooking zone – or be
slightly larger.

Remember that a large saucepan can also hold small
quantities. If the diameter of the base is too small, the
energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling
over will burn onto the hot cooking zone.
Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will prolong
the cooking time slightly compared with cooking
utensils with matt/dark bases.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without a lid
you use more than three times as much electricity.
Do not slide saucepans across the surface of the hob
- always lift the pan when placing it on, or removing it
from the ceramic surface.
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans with a
clean dry cloth before placing them on the ceramic
surface. This helps to reduce cleaning and prevents
scratching the hob glass.
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
