Choosing Your Utensils

Do Not

Do not use utensils with rough bases.

 

Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases.

 

Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils.

 

Do not use cast iron utensils.

 

Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled (like a gramophone record) or

 

ridged bases.

 

Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than 1mm as this

 

will reduce the performance of the hob.

 

Do not use a utensil with a convex base.

 

Do not use glass ceramic utensils.

 

Do not use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on

 

ceramic or halogen hotplates.

 

Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard

 

wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and

 

do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with

 

a different material such as tin.

 

A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel

 

is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and halo-

 

gen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manu-

 

facturers’ recommendations.

 

Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are

 

excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with

 

aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs,the use

 

of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’

 

recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan

 

and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every

 

use, when using this type of saucepan.

 

If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of

 

small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after

 

each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.

 

Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob surface

 

as damage may occur.

Featuring a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly designs, these cookers promise to elevate your culinary experience while maintaining efficiency and safety.

One of the key features across these models is the multi-function oven. With various cooking modes, including fan-assisted convection, grill, and conventional heating, users can tailor their cooking methods to suit a wide range of recipes.
