CHOOSING THE PROPER COOKWARE

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

•ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.

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

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

•CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

•ENAMELWARE - 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.
