qWe recommend that you use saucepans and
frying pans with thic flat bases. Uneven bases
increase coo ing times.
qAlways select a saucepan that is the right size for
the food to be coo ed. A large saucepan that is
only halfĆfilled will consume more energy.
qSaucepans and frying pans should always be
covered by a matching lid.
qUsing a saucepan base that is the same size as
the hotplate ensures the optimum transfer of heat.
When purchasing saucepans, chec that the
manufacturer frequently specifies the top diameter
of the pan rim. Generally, this value is greater than
the diameter of the pan base.
qSwitch bac to a lower heat setting at the
appropriate time.
