Choice of pots | Smeg SE62CX guide

2.5 Choice of pots

Special-purpose electric cooking pots with a surface-ground base must be used. You may also use fireproof glass or porcelain direct on the cooking zone provided that the base is surface-ground.

Please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

The size of the pots should be selected in accordance with the size of the cooking zone. The diameter of the pot may not be smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone.

Cooking and roasting in cookware that is slightly deformed and does not make full contact with the cooking zone will take much longer, is uneconomical and can result in damage.

If cookware is unsuitable, the overheating protection device which is installed in the appliance will switch the cooking zones off prematurely and the cooking temperature will not be reached and/or cooking will take longer.

You will cut energy consumption of you use the right pots with lids and if you remove the lids as little as possible while cooking.

The following illustrations show how the wrong choice of pots will result in unnecessary losses of energy.
