– Select pans which are suitable for
the burner they are to be used on. In
general: use larger diameter pans on
the large burners, and smaller
diameter pans on the small burners.
– Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
tall, narrow ones. They will heat up
faster.
– Pans with thick bases are preferable
as these distribute heat more evenly.
With thin bases, there is a danger of
food overheating in places. Stir the
food frequently.
– Any heat-resistant pans can be used
on a gas burner.
– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.

– Refer to the chart above and ensure
that the pan diameter falls within the
minimum and maximum diameters
given for the burner you are using. A
pan which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the
pan diameter is too large, flames can
spread out to the sides and damage
or burn the worktop, wall claddings
or surrounding units and also parts of
the hob. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for this type of damage.
– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
