manual abstract
¦ Use pots and pans with level bases. Using cookware with unlevel bases increases energy consumption. ¦ The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. ¦ Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large saucepan containing little food requires more energy. ¦ Use only a little water when cooking. This will save energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables. ¦ Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible. ¦ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
