Types of cooktop elements

Radiant surface elements are located just below the surface of the glass cooktop. The patterns on the ceramic glass outlines the size and type of element available at each position on the cooktop. The single radiant element will have a single round outline pattern shown.

The versatile dual radiant element will show with a dual ring pattern on the cooktop. This element allows the user to set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See Fig. 1).

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly 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 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).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on 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.

Using proper cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figs. 2 & 3.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Fig. 3). For more information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning" and "Cooktop Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
