Selecting types of cookware

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavyweight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately.

However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper-bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cookware:

not recommended

Some porcelain-covered cookware can bond to the hot cooking surface.

Glass-Ceramic/Stoneware:

not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

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.

Pan Detection/Sizing will work properly with these types of cookware.

Pan Detection/Sizing will not work with these types of pans.

Check pans for flat bottoms by

using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Pan detection/sizing may not work properly with these types of pans.

For best results

•Place only dry pans on the surface units. Do not place lids on the surface units, particularly wet lids.

•Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface units.

•Use only a flat-bottomed wok available from many popular cookware manufacturers.

The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface unit to ensure proper contact.

•Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms that match the size of the surface units.
