3.6 Practical advice
• For better burner efficiency and to
minimise gas consumption, use pans with
lids and of suitable size for the burner, so
that the flames do not reach up the sides
of the pan. Once the contents come to
the boil, turn down the flame far enough
to ensure that the liquid does not boil
over.
• To prevent burns or damage to the hob
or the counter top during cooking, all
pans or griddles (not supplied) must be
placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
not exceed the width of the silk-screened
cooking zone.
• Pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the hob or above the front
control panel.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or
the top of the pan, as the top is almost
always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to preserve
the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.
