Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across

the bottom of theFigure 1 cookware (See Figure

1). Be sure to follow

the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

CORRECT

Flat bottom and straight sides.

Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared.

Made of material that conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

iNCORRECT

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs burner grate by more than 2.5 cm (1").

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Flame extends beyond pan.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used in

the oven or on the cooktop.

Figure 2

*Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Using a wok

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round- bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner circumference) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the

burner circumference. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be damaged.
