SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS

How to Check Pan Performance

Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The correct cookware reduces the temperature of the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of spillovers burning onto the cooktop.

You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms. Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of your pans you may do this quick test.

Turn your pan upside

down on the countertop,

place a ruler flat against the pan surface. The

bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler

should fit flush against each other all the way across. Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.

Use pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.

SPECIAL CAUTIONS FOR GLASS COOKTOPS

SURFACE COOKING

OFF CENTER

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

DROPPING

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because

it can scratch the glass— the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage

 

• Do not use the surface as a
