Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

Pans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might collect.

Be sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty.

Use cookware only as it was intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven. Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

l For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

l Do not place canner on two surface burners at the Same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cook-top.

l Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

l Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
