Using the cooktop

Pan size

Set the cooktop to a high flame when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using small diameter pans.

Generally, wide / shallow pans will heat quicker and cook more evenly than narrow / tall ones.

Using oversized pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances. The proper pan size will also improve efficiency.

Do not use small pans with high flame settings, the flames may climb the sides of the pan.

Pots with a smaller diameter than the pan support and pots that do not sit securely (without wobbling) are hazardous and should not be used.

Suitable pans

Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results.

Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution.

Thin pan bases will conduct the heat faster but not as evenly as thick pan bases. Stir the food frequently to prevent burning.

Wok burners

You can use a wok on these burners without any additional rings, trivets, etc.

If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra stability, attach it as shown (depending on your grates).
