Cookware Recommendations VG 421 Normal Burner Large Burner Recommended Minimum pot diameter pot diameter 7 3/4 ´ ´ - 9 1/2 ´ ´ 9 1/2 ´ ´ - 11 ´ ´ 3 1/2 ´ ´ 3 1/2 ´ ´ Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm (3 1/2 ´ ´ ) or more than 280 mm (11 ´ ´ ) should not be used. When using large pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´ ´ ) between the cooking vessel and combustible surroundings. When buying pots, pay attention to the fact that the manufacturer frequently specifies the top pot diameter, which is generally larger than the diameter of the base. Use cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as being "suitable for gas". Use pots and pans with a thick base, because heat distribution is particularly improved in the low setting. Using the correct size of pots and pans for the burner ensures improved cooking performance and energy efficiency. To ensure an even distribution of heat, center the pot above the burner. In order to guarantee a secure position on the pot grid, the pot base should be flat and not warped or dented. Through a glass lid you can watch the cooking progress without having to take the lid off. 12 9.
