Selecting cookware

The cooking surface

Your ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface.

Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms are clean before cooking. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are actually harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop however.

The burner rings are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings.

Pots and pans

Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance.

Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop.

–For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible.

–Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.
