WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE?
When cooking large quantities of
food, it is always better to use a
large diameter pan and a larger
burner. More efficient heat
distribution will be achieved and
food will cook evenly.
4.4 HEATING ZONES, BURNER SIZES & COOKWARE
Cooking zone Diameter A
6 1/2 ” 4”...7”
7” 4 3/4 ” ... 8 1/2 ”
9” 7”...9 1/2 ”
To check the suitability of your cookware:
Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4.
If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible.
If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet to test the cookware:
If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with
induction.
4.5 MATCHING POTS & PANS WITH BURNERS
Small elements (6 1/2 ”) are best utilized:
- With small cookware - but normally not smaller
then 10 cm (4”)
- For slow cooking and simmering (sauces,
creams, etc.)
- For cooking small quantities of food.
Large elements (9”) are primarily designed for
day-to-day cooking needs and most commonly
used pans , 7 to 9 1/2 ” in diameter.
