4.2.1 Optimal use of the ceramic hob
Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. •
This will prevent food remains ending up on the red-
hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food remains are difficult to
remove. In addition, the handles may become too hot and
a lot of energy is lost.
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for •
use on a ceramic hob.
Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made meals, for cooking •
food in. If aluminium foil melts on the cooking surface, it cannot be removed.
Aluminium foil is also a very poor conductor of heat.
Always pick pans up to move them. Sliding pans can cause •
scratches that cannot be removed.
Only place pans with clean, dry bottoms on the cooking surface. This will avoid •
causing stains that are difficult to remove.
Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy loss. •
Slide the bottom of the pan over a slightly damp cloth, before placing the pan on the •
cooking zone. This prevents dirt getting on to the cooking surface.
