COMFORTABLE COOKING
Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will
prevent food remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnton food remains are difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may
become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.
Pans [hat 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.
COMFORTABLE COOKING

for rhis purpose. Special cleaning agents for ceramic hobs have rhe
advantage thar a thin film remains on rhe glass surface so rhar overcooked food and lime scale are less likely ro ger burnr into rhe hob,
making ir easier ro clean rhe nexr rime.
Ir is besr ro ler the hob cool down before cleaning ir. Over-cooked food
containing a lor of sugar and acids, such as apple sauce, rhubarb or red
cabbage are besr removed immediarely wirh a damp dish c10rh ro prevent
rhem gerri ng burnr into rhe hob. Be careful wirh rhe hor cooking zone!
