After Lighting a Burner
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
e flame size on a gas burner should match the okware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF
COOKWARE, NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND
UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum:
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 g!ass
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.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties, and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
