For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom. Determine if pan has a flat bottom. (Figure 13)

1.Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat, gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler occur.

2.A small groove or mark on a pan does not effect cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
