Using the ceramic cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic cooktop is almost the same as cooking on conventional surface units. There are, however, a few differences:

l The ceramic axktop will take slightfy longer to heat up than a regular surface unit. lt will also take a little longer to cool down.

lThe surface unit will glow red when it *s turned on. You will see the element cycling on (gbwing red) and off to maintain the proper temperature setting you have selected.

ltf you use the ceramic cooktop for canning, use the left front surface unit. For best canning resufts, use a flat-battomed canner.

l Sliding metal pans on the ceramic cooktop surface could leave marks. Clean metal marks using the Cooktop Polishing Creme included with your range. Remove these marks before uslng the cooktop agaln. Wiping off the cooktop after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and provide the most even heating. See pages 18 and 19 for care and cleaning suggestions.

lDo not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface unit. It can overheat and may damage the utensil or surface unit.

l Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils with rounded, warped, ridged or dented bottoms. These could cause severe overheating which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cooking utensils for your needs.

l With your hand, feel the bottom of your pans while they are cool for nidts and scratches. Nicks and scratches on pan bottoms will scratch the ceramic cooktop.

. Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good amtacl with the surface units. To check the flatness of a utensil:

-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.

-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most houseware stores or departments.

l The pan should have straight sides and a tight- fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.

l The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface unit through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

l Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant materfal and be securely attached to the pan.
