.4ny flame larger than the bottom of ~hecookwa~eis wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

JVhen using aiuminum or aluminunl-e~ad stainless steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware.

JWhenboiling, use this same flame size— 1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware—no matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cook just as quickly at

iigentle boil as they do at a furious, rolling boil. A high boil crcatcs steam and cooks away moisture, ilavor and nutrition. ,~v(lidit except for the few cooking processes that need

Top”of”Rangecookware

Alumi~Iun}:Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Minerals in food and water will stain but will not harm aluminum. A quick scour with a soap-filled steel wool pad after each use keeps aluminum cookware looking shiny and new. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

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 glass cookware—those for oven

use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

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 Llsuallycombined 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.
