USING THE PROPER COOKWARE

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly. Stainless steel is recommended.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge or ruler

1.Place a ruler across the bottom of the

pan.

2.Hold it up to the light.

3. No light should be visible under the ruler.

Note: • Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning.

Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom, and/or oversized canners and griddles.

Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Service agent.

HOME CANNING TIPS

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and cooktops may be damaged.

Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smooth top surfaces.

Use the high heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.

Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil, or pressure. If the heat is not turned down,the cooktop may be damaged.
