Using the ceramic glass cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is almost the same as cooking on coil surface units. There are, however, a few differences:

•The surface unit will glow red when it is turned on. You will see the element cycling on (glowing red) and off – even on HI setting – to maintain the proper tempera- ture setting you have selected.

•Sliding metal pans on ceramic glass cooktop surface could leave marks. Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and provide the most even heating. See pages 29 and 30 for care and cleaning suggestions.

Cookware tips

•Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

•NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware that makes good contact with the surface units. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain enamelware) or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.

You can, however, use the newer cookware available with slightly indented bottoms or very small expansion channels. This cookware is specially designed to provide the good contact needed for best cooking results.

Also, woks, canners, and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell housewares.

•The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.

•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

USING YOUR RANGE

•The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

•Handles should be made of sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

•With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nicks and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the ceramic glass cooktop.

•Make sure bottoms of pans are clean and dry before using on cooktop.

•Avoid spillovers on cooktop. Use pans with tall sides.

•Do not cook food directly on cooktop.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. The cookware could overheat and damage the cookware or surface unit.

Home canning information

•Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit.

•Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

•Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
