Types of cookware
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance.

Copper: recommended
Copper Bottoms: usable, but not recommended Pans with copper bottoms may leave residue appearing as scratches. Remove any residue immediately after use. Do not let a pot boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to the glass cooktop and leave a permanent stain if it is not removed immediately.

bottoms are not recommended.

local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact.
