‘f!)Topof-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Minerals in food and water will stain but will not harm aluminum. A quick scour with a soap-filled steel wool pad afier each use keeps aluminum cookware looking shiny new. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass:There are two types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

StainlessSteel: This metal alone has poor heating properties, and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Clock and Timer

The Clock a~d Timer are helpful devices that serve several purposes.

The Clock

To set the Clock, push in the knob and turn the clock hands to the right to the correct time. Then let the knob out and continue turning

4 to OFF.

Timer

The Timer has been combined with the range clock. Use it to time all your precise cooking operations. You’ll recognize the Timer as the pointer which is different in color than the clock hands.

Minutes are marked up to 60 on the center ring of the clock.

To set the Timer, turn the knob to the left, without pushing in, until the pointer reaches the number of minutes you want to time.

At the end of the set time, a buzzer sounds to tell you time is

up. Turn the knob, without pushing in, until the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops.
