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 lmm 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.
