Energy-saving advice
DUse pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bottoms incre
energy consumption. Place a ruler against the bottom of the pan. If ther gaps, this means the bottom is completely flat.
D The diameter of | the pan you | are using should be the same as | the di | ||||
the element. | Please | note: | If the cookware manufacturer provides the diam | ||||
for the | top | of | the | pan, | bear | in mind that this is in most cases | greate |
diameter | of | its | bottom. | This is | generally greater than the diameter | of th |
the | pan. | If | the diameter | of | the | pan | is | not | the same | as | the | diameter | |
element, | it | is preferable | to | use | a pan | with | a | bottom | that | is | larger in | ||
than | the | element, otherwise | half | the | energy | will | be wasted. |
|
DChoose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to
large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy.
DEnsure that pans are always placed in the center of the element and cover them with a lid. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a f
increase | in | energy use. |
|
|
D Use a | small amount of | water when | cooking. This will save energy and | |
the vitamins | and minerals | of cooked | vegetables. |
DWhen cooking stews or liquid food such as soups, sauces or drinks, th
reach a high temperature within a very short time and | without | warning, |
risk of spillage. Therefore, it is advisable to heat food | slowly, | adjusting |
setting to an adequate level and stirring the food before and | during the | |
process. |
