correctly.

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

Select the highest setting

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.

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
