Surface Cooking

Selecting Surface Cooking 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 the 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.

Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists

staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will

resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum

above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

PORCELAIN=ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
