PROPER COOKWARE
Cookware Characteristics
•Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
•Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
•
•Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
–The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
–Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
–Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking.
–Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
– A
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used when placed front to back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly. Use the Thermador® accessory griddle Model AGGRIDDLE. To order call the 800 number listed below.
