4.4 Cookware

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface or burner.

Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough cookware finishes may scratch the rangetop. Aluminum and copper may be used in cookware as a core material or base. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the rangetop or grates.

Cookware properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, a non- stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on the properties of aluminum.

Refer to the following chart as a guide to the physical properties of cookware.
