Cooking guidelines 23 Cookware Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size. Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best results. Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
24 Cooking guidelines Important! Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting. Cooking tips When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting. Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat. Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times. Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
