Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan . If flames play around
n
the pan, a lot of energy is lost . In addition, the handles can get too hot .
Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm . Smaller pans will not
n
be stable .
When frying, stir-frying, heating
n
through large quantities and deep-frying it is better to use the strong or wok
burner . Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner . On its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking
food right through . For all other dishes use the normal burners .
Cook with the lid on the pan . This way you save up to 50% energy .
n
Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base . Pans with a flat base stand stably and
n
pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food .
Wok burner
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature . For
this purpose it is important:
to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
n
to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil when
n
stir-frying . A small quantity is enough . Butter and margarine on the other
hand will burn because of the high heat;
to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so that at the
n
end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time .
