This directive defines the framework for recycling used appliances within European territory Energy-saving advice ¦ Always place the correct lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid. ¦ Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption. ¦ The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base. ¦ Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy. ¦ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals. ¦ Select a lower power level.

It therefore offers a number of advantages: ¦ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. ¦ Energy is saved. ¦ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. ¦ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off.
