Adjust the cooking zones correctly.

 Select the highest setting for the cooking zones

until the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce

the setting as far as possible, without the food

going off the boil.

 Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan

may increase the electricity consumption by up

to 50 per cent. Check whether your saucepans

have level bases by placing the item in question

upside down on a work top and positioning a

ruler on the base.

 A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will

prolong the cooking time and increase the energy

consumption.

 The saucepan should match the cooking zone

– or be slightly larger.

 Remember that a large saucepan can also hold

small quantities. If the diameter of the base is too

small, the energy consumption will increase,

and any food boiling over will burn onto the hot

cooking zone.

 Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will

prolong the cooking time slightly compared with

cooking utensils with matt/dark bases.

 Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without

a lid you use more than three times as much

electricity.

 Do not slide saucepans across the surface of

the hob - always lift the pan when placing it on,

or removing it from the ceramic surface.

 Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans

with a clean dry cloth before placing them on the

ceramic surface. This helps to reduce cleaning

and prevents scratching the hob glass.

 Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
