How It Works
Flames heat the pans directly Pan tininess is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced° Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away,When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans_ Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction, Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off[
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop,
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the coulcwase, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop_
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that arttacts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan° Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.
