The base should be as thick and flat as possible. · Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim. · Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the glass ceramic surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove. · Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base. This can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the surface. · When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex). · If you wish to use special types of pan (e. g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc. ), please observe the manufacturer's instructions. 2 Energy saving tips You can save valuable energy by observing the following points: · Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone. · Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption. · Whenever possible always position the lids firmly on pots and pans to cover completely. · Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat such as to keep foods warm or for melting. · The base of the pan should be the same size as the cooking zone. · Using a pressure cooker reduces cooking times by up to 50%. 18 Advice on Cooking with and without Automatic Warm up The automatic warm up function is suitable for: · dishes that start off cold, are heated up at high power and do not need to be continually watched when cooking on the selected heat setting, · dishes that are put in a hot frying pan. The automatic warm up function is not suitable for: · goulash, beef olives and similar braised dishes that need continual turning until browned correctly, have liquid added and are then braised until cooked, · dumplings, pasta dishes with large amounts of liquid, · cooking with pressure cookers, · very large quantities of soup/stew with more than 2 litres of liquid. General notes: · When cooking without the automatic warm up function, we recommend the use of a high heat setting to warm up the food (using the button) and then leave the dish to finish cooking at an appropriate lower heat setting.
