Protecting the environment	8
Energy-saving advice	8
▯ Place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a considerable increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.	8
Cooking with Induction	8
Advantages of induction cooking	8
Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:	8
▯ Saves time when boiling and frying.	8
Cookware	8
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:	8
▯ Cookware made from enameled steel	8
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the element. If a element does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another element with a smaller diameter.	8
If the only element being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can read more information on the positioning of the cookware here	8
Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:	9
▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking	9
Unsuitable cookware	9
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:	9
▯ Traditional stainless steel	9
Properties of the base of the cookware	9
The material(s) of which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy.	9
No pan or improper size	9
Empty pans or pans with a thin base	9
Pan detection	9
