and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single
egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is
125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable.
Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using
pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour
the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.
