[. . . ] Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely. IMPORTANT ­ As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e. g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas. In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire: 1. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it. Safety requirements for deep fat frying 1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. Never fill the pan more than one-third full or fat or oil. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat. 28 Choosing Your Utensils Choosing your utensils Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils. To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good quality utensils with smooth flat bases. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before buying. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type of electric hob. Do use good quality smooth flat based utensils. Do use a utensil which has approximately the same base area as the heating area zone being used. Do use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or spillage.
