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).
