Cooking guidelines

Cookware

Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Always lift pans off the cooktop - do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent
these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and
cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the
glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface
when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.

17

Cooking guidelines

Important!

Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.

General cooking tips

Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food has come to the boil or heated
through.
Even after a cooking zone has been turned off, its glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from hot cooking zones when the food is cooked.

Cooking rice, simmering

Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than
the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
Simmering occurs below boiling point, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface
of the cooking liquid. It’s the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours
develop without overcooking the food. Egg-based sauces are best kept below boiling point
throughout cooking, and flour-based sauces should also be gently simmered after they have
reached boiling point.

Searing steak

1

Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.

2

Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.

3

Brush both sides of the steak with oil and season it to taste.

4

Lower the meat onto the hot pan.

5

Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness

of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times vary between 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the
steak to gauge how cooked it is: the firmer it feels, the more ‘well done’ it will be.

6

Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender

before serving.

Care and cleaning

What?

soiling examples

How? Important!

Light soiling on
glass after every use

fingerprints and
marks
stains left by
non-sugary
liquids (eg water,

1 Remove the soiling with ceramic

cooktop cleaner using a sponge or
non-abrasive scourer suitable for
ceramic glass.

2 Remove any excess cleaner and

wipe dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.

3 Apply ceramic cooktop

conditioner or protector following
the instructions on the dispenser.
A microfibre or ‘glass’ cloth is ideal
for this.

Heavy-duty scourers, some
nylon scourers and harsh/
abrasive cleaning agents
may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if your
cleaner or scourer is suitable.

Never leave cleaner residue
on the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.

Important!
