Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
lThey should be fairly heavy duty
lThey should fit the heat area exactly, or
be slightly larger for efficient use, N V R
smaller.
lThey 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.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the
plate control knob so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans
cook at lower temperature which is more
economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being split onto the plates.
ever leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward
or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you
pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local AEG Service Centre.
