Select a pan that is about the same size as the surface unit.

NOTE: For best results and greater energy efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porce- lain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.

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

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

l

l

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly light-weight.

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. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

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