Cookware tips

No one brand of cookware is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cookware for your needs.

l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook- ware in good condition.

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

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick- ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

lThe pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

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

lPans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might collect.

lBe sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty.

lUse cookware only as it was intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven. Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

lFor best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

lDo not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop.

. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

lKeep burner pans clean for best heat reflection.

lRefer to your canner manual for specific instructions.
