Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:
Cast Iron
The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.
Toughened Glass
If the pans become too hot, the hob may overheat causing the safety cut out to
operate too frequently thus reducing the cooking efficiency.
Copper
Can easily distort and will therefore not form a good contact between base and hob
which will result in uneven cooking.
