Surface Cooking

FEATURE OVERVIEW

CORRECTINCORRECT

Using the 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 the cookware (See Fig.l).

Be sure to follow	all the	Fig.1
recommendations	for using	cookware
as shown in Fig. 2.

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

Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface control accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center wilt be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Drawer Rack Positions

The rack can be used in two ways:

In the upward position (Fig. 3) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).

In the downward position (Fig. 4) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.

Operating the Warmer Drawer

The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.

Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food

from the Warmer Drawer as cookware and plates will be hot and you can be burned.
