Use

When you start cooking, turn the hob on to maximum heat. As the temperature rises, it is advisable to reduce the heating intensity. Cooking at high intensity will not reduce the cooking time, but will consume electricity unnecessarily.
While cooking, pots and pans should be closed with lids, preferably – glass lids, to prevent heat loss and, consequently – increased consumption.
Cooking on induction hobs requires cookware with a special base that is designed for this type of hob. Pots made of glass, aluminium and some other non-magnetic materials cannot be used. Nowadays, a lot of cookware is suitable for cooking on different types of surfaces, including induction hobs.
The use of pots and pans with a thick base that acts as a heat accumulator is preferable while cooking on an electric cooker. It should be remembered that an uneven base of a pot can increase electricity consumption.
Pots and pans of appropriate or larger diameter than the cooking zone must be used on electric cooktops, except for induction ones. Small-sized cookware should not be used on large heating zones as there is a high risk of burning the handles of the cookware, as well as electricity is wasted heating the surrounding air.
If sugar, plastic or aluminium foil falls on the hot glass-ceramic and induction hob surface, the appliance must be switched off immediately and the hobs must be thoroughly cleaned with a surface-specific scraper while they are still hot.
