Cooking with the electrical hot plate
To get the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :
• Use thick, flat-bottomed cooking vessel :
a completely flat bottom prevents the overheating of some points which cause food to stick.
Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.
• Make sure that the bottoms of pan are dry :
this will prevent things from sticking to the hot plate because of moisture.
• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate,
otherwise some of the energy will be wasted and if there are any spillages the hot plate will
quickly become stained and difficult to maintain (rust, etc.).
• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it : it could become deformed,
which would reduce its efficiency.
• When cooking with fat or oil, never leave the hob unattented, very hot fats and
oils can quickly catch fire.
• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium
foil.
Caution :
the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make sure that small
children are kept well away from the hob.
