Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight- fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are 2 types of glass cookware— those for oven use only and those for surface cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas cooktops.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties, and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Wok cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat- bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Do not use woks with support rings.

Stove top grills

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Component Cooktop System specifications

The GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is a high-end kitchen appliance designed for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function. A cornerstone of the Monogram line, this cooktop system represents a blend of advanced technology, flexibility, and elegant design.

One of the most striking features of the GE Monogram Component Cooktop is its modular design. Home chefs can customize their cooking experience based on personal preferences and cooking styles. The cooktop allows for the integration of various cooking elements such as gas burners, induction cooktops, grill plates, and griddles, making it versatile for various cuisines. This modularity enables the seamless combination of different cooking surfaces tailored to the user’s needs.

The gas burners feature high BTU outputs that provide powerful heat when needed, ensuring quick boiling and effective searing.

Using electromagnetic energy, induction cooking delivers rapid heat with precise temperature control, allowing for delicate tasks like simmering sauces or high-heat cooking for stir-fries. The smooth ceramic surface is easy to clean, and the cooktop remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is its sleek design. The stainless steel finish exudes a modern aesthetic, while the backlit controls and seamless integration into countertops provide an upscale look that enhances any kitchen decor. Furthermore, user-friendly touch controls allow for easy adjustments, making the cooking process more efficient.

Additional features include temperature probes, which offer precise cooking results, and various safety features such as automatic shut-off and system lock, ensuring peace of mind during cooking. Furthermore, the cooktop is designed for easy maintenance, with removable components and surfaces that resist staining.
