Cooking and frying utensils

The better the pot or the pan, the better the boiling

or frying result.

. You can recognise good quality pans by their base. The base should be thick and as flat as pos- sible.

. Rough bases (i.e. burrs and sharp edges) will scratch the ceramic glass surface.

. Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic discolourations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

. Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10--15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.

. When cold, pan bases normally curve slightly inwards (are concave). In no case should they curve outwards (be convex).

. When buying new pots or pans pay attention to the base diameter. Manufacturers often state the upper diameter of the edge of a dish.

. If you are using special cooking utensils like pres- sure cookers or a WOK, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer. Ensure they are recommended for use on ceramic hobs.

General hints

. The bases should always be clean and dry.

. To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic glass surface, pots and pans should be moved on the hob by lifting them, and not by sliding.

. Scratches can also be caused by grains of sand (e.g. originating from the previous washing of vegetables), drawn over the cooking surface with the pan, or by burrs and the rims of pan bases.

. Use high sided pans for dishes with a lot of liquid, so that nothing boils over.

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should:

. place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone.

. use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bases.

EHP 601 K specifications

The Electrolux EHP 601 K is a modern induction cooktop that is well-regarded for its combination of efficient cooking technology, stylish design, and user-friendly features. This appliance is designed to meet the needs of busy kitchens while offering convenience and reliability for everyday cooking tasks.

One of the standout features of the EHP 601 K is its induction cooking technology. This innovative heating method uses magnetic fields to directly heat cookware, resulting in faster cooking times and more precise temperature control. Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves that heat the surface, induction heating warms only the pot or pan, making it safer and more energy-efficient. This technology minimizes wasted heat, allowing for quicker boiling and better energy savings in the long run.

The cooktop consists of four cooking zones, providing ample space to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously. Each zone is equipped with a boosting function, which enables rapid heating when needed. This is particularly useful for tasks like boiling water or searing meat, allowing for enhanced cooking performance. The zones are also compatible with various cookware materials, including stainless steel and cast iron, provided they have a magnetic base.

The sleek design of the EHP 601 K not only adds a modern touch to any kitchen but also offers practical benefits. The smooth glass surface is easy to clean, with a minimalist layout that prevents spills and splatters from becoming a hassle. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, featuring a digital display that allows users to adjust cooking temperatures with precision and ease.

Safety is a key consideration in the design of the Electrolux EHP 601 K. It comes with a child safety lock, preventing accidental adjustments while in use. Additionally, the appliance features residual heat indicators that illuminate when the cooking zones are still hot, reducing the risk of burns.

Overall, the Electrolux EHP 601 K is a high-quality induction cooktop that combines advanced technology with an elegant design. Its efficiency, safety features, and intuitive usability make it an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen cooking experience. With Electrolux's commitment to quality and innovation, this cooktop stands out as a reliable option for modern cooking needs.
