Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have several characteristics:
•They should be fairly heavy duty.
•They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
•They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the hotplate. This is particularty important when using pans for high temperature frying presure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn the hotplate control knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud simmering.
You can switch off the hotplate a short while before you finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed using the accumulated heat.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
