Surface Cookware Recommendations

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

Cookware should hove 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 (See

Figure 1). Be sure to follow the recommendations for using

cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking results.

Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quiddy 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 glass 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.

Correctincorrect

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 cool<tops.

PORCELAIN-ENAMELon 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.

important note:

tt

°Flat bottom and straight sides.

•Tight fitting lids.

•Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

°Pan sizes match the amount

of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

*Made of a material that conducts heat well.

° Easy to clean.

*Always match pot diameter to element surface diameter.

°Curved and warped pan bottoms.

°Pan overhangs element by more than one-half inch.

÷1 N-

•Pan is smaller than element.

•Heavy handle tilts pan.

De not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly especially if left empty & they may bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will damage the cool<top! Be sure to follow all the cookware manufacturer's suggestions when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
