Match pots and pans to the hob Stop pans overheating and becoming damaged by avoiding gas flames coming up the side of the pan. You can help prevent this by matching the size of the pan to the heating area of your hob. Keep stirring when cooking When adding salt to liquids in a stainless steel pan, stirring will prevent the stainless steel from pitting. Choose the right kitchen utensils Avoid chlorine cleansers, steel wool or sharp objects that may mark your pans - plastic, coated or wooden kitchen utensils are safest.
