Cookware

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence settings needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware should always:

Have flat bottoms.

Have tight fitting lids.

Be well-balanced.

Be made of material that conducts heat well.

Be easy to clean.

Match to the size of the element.

Cookware should not:

have a curved or

warped bottom.

• hang over the surface element by more than one-half inch.

• be smaller than the element by more than one-half inch.

• have a heavy handle that tilts the pan.

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

Stainless steel - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Glass- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

For more information about the ceramic cooktop see “Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance” in the Care & Cleaning section.
