Cookware
The type of cookware used will affect performance. Pans must be magnetic.
Flat bottoms
– utensils/pans with flat bottoms are best. Concave or convex bottoms will cause
uneven and slower heating. If pans are not stable (wobble), before or after heating, they will result in
slower and uneven cooking. Vibrations/buzzing can also be caused by the pans condition.
Size
– Always try to center the pan on the element. Use smaller elements for smaller pans.
Covers
– a cover or lid will reduce cooking times and prevent splashing.
Griddle Plates
– Do not use griddle plates that cover more than one cooking zone.
