Section Four: USING THE COOKTOP

Cookware Recommendations

CAUTION

Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.

Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.

Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and the cooking surface.

Professional quality pans with metal handles are recommended because plastic handles can melt or blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan. Professional quality pans are found at restaurant supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All cookware should have these characteristics: good heat conductivity, good balance, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid. For best cooking results, the flame should be contained under the bottom of the pan.

Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are sometimes attached to the base or in the core between stainless steel.

Balanced Pan

Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without rocking or wobbling.

(51 mm)

Base Diameter

Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5 -1/2" (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest recommended.

Flat Base Pan

A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which tend to distort cookware. Do not add cold water to a hot pan.

Covered Pan

A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make it possible to use lower heat settings.
