Hints and tips

To get the best out of your cooktop follow these simple suggestions.

Do not use an asbestos mat between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious damage to your cooktop.

Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the burners.

Saucepans should have thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer to cook. Heavy saucepans may bend the pan support or deflect the flame.

Match the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone and see that it is stable. This will give you the most efficient cooking. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.

For the simmer and semi rapid burners pots should be larger than 12cm in diameter (smaller pots can be used with the coffee pot trivet). The coffee pot support allows small items to be placed on burners. (Jet models only).

The fish/skillet burner (Jet 9 models only) may be used with pots 18cm in diameter and above. A fish kettle on the fish burner is not only useful for fish, but for steaming long vegetables like cobs of corn, Chinese broccoli, long beans and asparagus.

The wok burner is primarily designed for woks but may be used with 17- 23cm diameter pots with care. When using a wok only use the circular wok stand supplied with your Jet cooktop.
