Hints & Tips
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy
is required. Use a heat-resistant glass lid to easily view the inside without lifting it.
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
■ The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small
saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses.
Note: Cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the
saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are
preserved.
■ Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking
setting which is too high.
■ Use the residual heat of the hotplate. For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance
off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
