Uses, Tables and Tips

•You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and

flat as possible.

•Pay particular attention when buying new pans to the diameter of the base.

Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.

•Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the

ceramic glass surface, which is very difficult or impossible to remove.

•Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough, burred or damaged base. This

can produce permanent scratching if the pan is slid across the surface.

•When cold, pan bases are normally

bowed slightly inwards (concave). They

should never be bowed outwards (con

vex).

•If you wish to use special types of pan

(e.g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan,

wok, etc.), please observe the manufac

turer's instructions.

ual heat such as to keep foods warm or
