COOKWARE USAGE

Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:

Flat bottom and straight sides.

Tight-fitting lid.

Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

Pan is well-balanced.

Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface burner.

Made of material that conducts heat well.

The pot/pan diameter matches the surface burner flame diameter.

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

ALUMINUM: Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.)

COPPER: Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.

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

CAST-IRON: A poor conductor, but retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

ENAMELWARE: Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

GLASS: Slow heat conductor. Glass cookware is designed for two usages—top-of- range cooking or oven use. Only use cookware where it is designated to be used.

Do not place a small pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less on the center grate. Otherwise, it is likely that the pan or pot tips over. We highly recommend you to place such a small-sized pan or pot on the rear of both side grates.

CENTER BURNER GRATE

Samsung gas ranges come with a center burner grate. This grate fits over the center oval burner as well as round burner. The center burner grate should not be used over any other burners and no other center stovetop grates should be used with this range.

The oven also incorporates a True Convection system, which circulates hot air throughout the oven for even baking results. This ensures that food cooks evenly, minimizing the risk of hot spots and maximizing flavor. Whether you're baking, broiling, or roasting, the True Convection technology helps achieve perfect results every time.

Moreover, the range features a digital LED display for easy control and monitoring of settings. The sleek black stainless steel finish adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen décor, and the design is complemented by user-friendly knobs that provide precise control over settings.
