The best way to use your ceramic hob
For easy use, we have provided cooking zones
specially adapted to your needs, nevertheless:
However, higher temperatures may be
required for :
- large quantities
- cooking with a non-covered casserole
- using a glass or ceramic casserole.
And lower temperatures are required for :
- cooking food products that tend to burn easily
(start with a low temperature that can always be
increased if possible).
- In case of overflowing(take the lid off, or remove
the pan from the heat, then lower the
temperature).
Energy saving :
To finish off cooking turn the knob back to 0, and
leave the pan in place to use up all the
accumulated heat (which saves energy).
Use a lid whenever possible to reduce any loss of
heat through evaporation.
Automatic cooking zone temperature
adjustment
The cooking zones are self-regulating, It
switches itself on and off so as to remain at the
programmed power. Under these conditions the
temperature remains constant and is correctly
adapted to the food you are cooking.
The frequency of self-regulation depends on the
power being used.
Pans and casseroles must be designed for use with electric hobs.
Use pans with flat bases that have good surface contact with the cooking
zone surface. They must be made out of :
- stainless steel with a thick tri-metal or “sandwich” bottom.
- in aluminium with a thick smooth bottom.
- In enamelled steel.
