When frying or warming foods
in stainless steel, cast iron or
enamelware, keep the flame down
lower—to about 1/2 the diameter
of the pan.
When frying in glass or ceramic
cookware, lower the flame even
more.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight
cookware is recommended because
it heats quickly and evenly. Most
foods brown evenly in an aluminum
skillet. Minerals in food and water
will stain but will not harm
aluminum. A quick scour with a
soap-filled steel wool pad after
each use keeps aluminum cookware
looking shiny and new. Use
saucepans with tight-fitting lids
when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast
Iron: If heated slowly, most
skillets will give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some
conditions, the enamel of some
cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass:
There are two types of glass
cookware—those for oven use only
and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can
be used for either surface or oven
cooking. It conducts heat very
slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions
to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum
or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal
skillets generally work satisfactorily
if used at medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Clock and Timer
(On models so equipped)
The electronic range clock and
timer allow you to set the timer up
to 9 hours and 45 minutes. You have
