Tips For Cooktop Safety & Care Guide
1. Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. Use a heat-resistant glass lid to easily view the inside without.
2. Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
3. The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses.
4. Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
5. Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
6. Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan.
7. Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
8. Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high.
9. Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Induction Cooktop Troubleshooting FAQ
Q1: Why is my induction cooktop only heating the center of the pan, leaving burned spots in the middle?
A: This is often due to undersized heating elements (common in economy models like Haier rentals), which cover only about 50% of the pan's diameter. Heat concentrates in the center, causing faster cooking there while edges lag. Solution: Use a thicker-bottomed pan (e.g., with an aluminum core) for better heat spread, or try an induction diffusion plate to even out the heat across the full surface.
Q2: What should I do if I'm renting and can't replace the induction cooktop?
A: Talk to your landlord about upgrading to a model with larger burners or better controls—many are open to small fixes for tenant satisfaction. In the meantime, opt for portable induction burners (under $50) that you can take when you move, or adapt by preheating on low settings (e.g., level 2-3) for 5-10 minutes to distribute heat gradually.
Q3: Is my carbon steel pan (like De Buyer Mineral B Pro) the problem with uneven heating?
A: Carbon steel conducts heat vertically well but spreads it laterally slowly, worsening the "hot center" issue on small-element cooktops. Ensure it's fully seasoned (oily surface helps), and avoid high heat initially—start low and stir often. If spots persist, switch to clad cookware like Demeyere Atlantis for 20-30% better evenness.
Q4: How do I check if my cookware is compatible with induction, and does size matter?
A: Test by sticking a magnet to the pan bottom—if it holds, it's compatible. Match pan size to the burner (e.g., 8-10 inch pans for standard elements); oversized ones amplify uneven heating. Pro tip: Thick, multi-layer bottoms (stainless-aluminum-stainless) improve heat diffusion by up to 40% compared to thin single-layer pans.
Q5: Can I fix uneven heating by adjusting settings or techniques?
A: Yes—preheat on medium-low (level 4/10 max initially) for even spread, and use more oil or fat to buffer hot spots. Rotate the pan every 1-2 minutes if needed. Avoid full blast to prevent warping (which can create permanent hot spots). For simmering, low-end models like this aren't ideal; consider a double-boiler setup for precision.
