Energy saving | • Do not use clay pots as these may scratch the |
| surface. |
| • The diameter of the pot base must match that of the cooking |
| zone. Using pots that are too small causes energy wastage and may |
| damage the cooker hob. |
| • Use the lid if compatible with the type of food preparation. |
| • The pots must be suitably sized according to the amount of food |
| being cooked. Preparing small amounts of food in large pots is a |
| waste of energy. |
| • Foodstuffs that require long cooking times may be cooked in |
| pressure cookers. |
| • Cook potatoes and the various types of vegetables using little |
| water: the food will cook well, provided the pot is always properly |
| covered with the lid. Once the water reaches boiling point, lower the |
| heat setting to a level that ensures slow boiling. |
