Choosing Your Utensils

Choosing your utensils

Remember

Do Use

Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils.

To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good quality utensils with smooth flat bases.

1.Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below.

2.Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type of electric hob.

Do use good quality smooth flat based utensils.

Do use a utensil which has approximately the same base area as the heating area zone being used.

Do use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or spillage.

Do use utensils with good fitting lids.

Do use a low dome pressure cooker for best results.

WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob.

Important

1.

Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper

 

 

towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob.

 

 

Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces

 

 

when cleaning spillage from the hob.

 

2.

When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a

 

 

utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar

 

 

spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be

 

 

cleaned off with care immediately. Taking care remove when still hot

 

 

with a razor-blade scraper. This will avoid any damage.

 

 

NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.

 

3.

Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the

 

 

ceramic hob.
