Cookware 23
To get the best use out of your cooktop, consider the following points when selecting pots and pans.
It is important that the bottoms of the pots and pans are the same size as the cooking zone or element.
A flat base makes better contact with the cooking zone or element, resulting in shorter cooking times.
Aluminium and copper cookware can leave a metallic residue on the glass surface. Clean this off with ceramic glass cleaner after every use. If it is left, it becomes difficult to remove. See section ‘Care and cleaning’.
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans may scratch element coils of the ceramic glass.
Always lift pots and pans off ceramic glass cooktops – do not slide, or they may scratch the cooktop surface.
