In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

•Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone.

•Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

•Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
