POTTERY

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster

cooking than a narrow one.

Always use pots which properly fit what you have to

cook.

Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small

for liquids, since these could easily overflow.

Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster

cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the

bottom and burn easily.

It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking

cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar

leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and

consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,

making cleaning difficult.

Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they

are not heat-proof.

You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the

burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus

reducing gas consumption as in Fig. 1.

It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,

as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame

enough to keep the boiling point.

HOTPLATES

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should

have several characteristics:

They should be fairly heavy duty.

They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

They should have a flat base to ensure good contact

with the plate.

This is particularly important when using pans for high

temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being

spilt onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or

with an empty pan on them.

To obtain the best results, regarding kitchens

equipped with hotplates and central grill,

remember to remove the grill situated above the

hotplate; sothat damagings and overheatings will

be avoided.

In models supplied with a cover, if the cover is in

glass it should not be closed when the burners are

still hot as it could splinter.

This appliance conforms to EEC directive no. 87/308

of 2/6/87 concerning the suppression of radio-electric

interferences.

BARBECUE IN LAVIC ROCK

To grill meat, fish, sausages, etc. some models are

supplied with an electric barbecue.

A 12 position switch regulates the temperature of the

heating element permitting optimization of cooking.

The packet of lavic rock supplied serves to absorb fats

from food melted by heat.

To put the lavic rock in the container proceed as

follows:

- remove the grill above the container as illustrated in

figure 2;

- lift the electrical resistance upwards as illustrated in

figure 2;

- open the packet of lavic rock and fill the bottom of the

container evenly.

The lavic rock must be replaced when it becomes

black. It is important to replace it fairly regularly and

with good quality material, otherwise it could produce

smoke and smells.

Lavic rock is easily obtainable in hardware or

household equipment stores, etc. Lavic rock can,

however, be regenerated and thus re-used by

exposing it to a lighted flame.

To remove the lavic rock from the container it is

sufficient simply to pull the central handle of the

container upwards and then remove from the opening.
