For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
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.

glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils break due
to sudden temperature changes. Do not use glazed
utensils on smoothtop ranges.
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
