The following tips are designed to en- able you to

. . . prevent food from boiling over and burning onto the cooktop.
Saucepan bases
For optimum energy consumption dur- ing cooking, only pots with flat or slightly concave bases should be used. When the pot is hot, the base should rest evenly on the burner.
When purchasing new pots and pans, ensure that they are suitable for use on this type of cooktop.
