Cookware

IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

Aluminium and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates. Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material.

For example, aluminium cookware with a non-stick finish will take on the properties of aluminium. Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size

The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.

Use Balanced Pans

Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center pan over burner.

Use a Lid That Fits Properly

A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.

Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum: Heats quickly and evenly.

Suitable for all types of cooking. Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.

Cast Iron: Heats slowly and evenly.

Good for browning and frying. Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or Ceramic glass: Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

Copper: Heats very quickly and evenly.

Earthenware: Follow manufacturer's instructions. Use on low heat settings.

Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron: See stainless steel or cast iron.

Stainless steel: Heats quickly, but unevenly.

A core or base of aluminium or copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
