Cookware Utensils with an even bottom should be used in any case, best if made of heatproof ceramic. Uneven pots and pans do not allow heat to be spread evenly throughout food, causing cooking times to be delayed and the hob to be damaged. Use utensils of a size matching the hotplates, or slightly larger, and place them exactly on the hotplates. Avoid using wet saucepans, or leaving wet saucepan covers on the cold hotplates, because condensation can damage the plate. Cookware to be used on the hotplates should have strong, trued bottom with triple layer, in order to ensure the best heat absorption cooking results. Covered pans allow you to save time and energy. Glass pots, cast iron steak pans, such as copper or aluminium pans are not recommended, because they often leave reasidues which can damage the the hotplates. Never use plastic cookware in any case!
