Cookware tips
There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.
lUse only
-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.
-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.
NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most houseware stores or departments.
lThe pan should have straight sides and a tight- fiiing lid.
lChoose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.
lThe 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.
lHandles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.
lDo not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. ft can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.
lDo not use canners, woks and specialty utensils with rounded, warped, ridged or dented bottoms. These could cause severe overheating which damages the utensil and/ or surface unit.
Product Damage Hazard
fl a surface unit stays red for a long time, the bottom of the pan is not flat enough or is too small for the surface unit. Prolonged usage of incorrect utensils for long periods of time can resuft in damage to the surface unit, cooktop, wiring and surrounding areas. To prevent damage, use correct utensils, start cooking on HI and turn control down ?o continue cooking.
