containing starch, can constitute a health risk

due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend

cooking at the lowest possible temperatures

and not browning foods too much.

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the

bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be

as thick and flat as possible.

• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with

aluminium or copper bottoms can leave

discolorations on the glass ceramic surface

which are difficult or impossible to remove.

Energy saving

Always place cookware on the cooking zone

before it is switched on.

Switch cooking zones off before the end of the

cooking time to take advantage of residual heat.

If possible, always place lids on the pans. Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same

size.
