Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings

Home Canning Tips

HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at a medium boil.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.

NOTE: The surface unit “on” indicator light may glow between LO and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.

Special Notes for Glass Cooktops: (on some models)

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The hot surface indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.

NOTE:

•At HI and Medium High settings never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may catch fire.

•At Medium Low and LO settings melt chocolate and butter on a small surface unit.

•When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the Glass Cooktops section of Surface Cookware Tips.

•It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass surface when it is cool.
