Cookware Selection

For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-weight cookware. Pans should have a flat base, metal handle and good-fitting cover. Look for pans that are made of materials with good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and copper. Use the following guidelines when selecting cookware:

Select deep pans with high sides rather than ones with wide bases and low sides to avoid boilovers.

Cover pans while cooking to improve cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.

Select lower flame settings when using pans made of cast iron, enameled steel or glass ceramic, or pans coated with a nonstick finish. High heat may cause “hot spots”, scorching and burning.

Pans with oversize bases that extend beyond the range frame should not be used. On high settings, heat may be trapped beneath the pan causing permanent damage to the surface finish.

For ease in handling, use front burners for larger pans.

Use a wok with a flat bottom.

BAKEWARE

Choose commercial or good-quality bakeware. Use the size of pan recommended in the recipe. Using a pan that is too small or too large will affect cooking results.

A 14" (356) x 16" (406) baking sheet is an optimum size for large ovens and 9" (229) x 13" (330) for the small, non-convection oven. Allow at least 1" (25) between edge of pan and oven walls.

Size, shape and finish of bakeware affects the baking time. Food on insulated bakeware cooks more slowly. Food cooked in dark metal pans may cook faster than food cooked in shiny pans.

Dark, nonstick pan coatings brown more than light, nonstick coatings.

When baking with multiple pans, allow a minimum of 1" (25) between each pan and oven walls. When more than one oven rack is used, stagger the location of the pans.
