Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE:
Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
Heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do
not let these pots boil dry. Overheated
metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will leave
a residue that will permanently stain the
cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
Recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Poor performance. Will scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Cast Iron:
Not recommended—unless designed
specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb
heat. Will scratch the cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
For Best Results
■ Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not
place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.
Wet pans and lids may stick to the surface when cool.
■ Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on glass surface elements.
■ We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as
the surface element to ensure proper contact.
■ Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat
fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be
the correct size.
Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.
