You can use the residual heat for melting and keeping food warm. As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns. If the power supply is interrupted the residual heat indicator also go out and information about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it is still possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by being particularly attentive. 30 Uses, Tables and Tips Pans The better the pan, the better the results. · You can recognise good pans by their bases. 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%. 31 Chart for Setting the Cooking Zones The setting position required for cooking processes is dependent on the quality of the pots and on the type and amount of the food.
