Cookware Tips
1. Use medium-or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast iron and coated
iron cookware is slow to absorb
heat, but generally cooks evenly at
LO to MED settings. Steel pans
may cook unevenly if not
combined with other metals.

2. To conserve the most cooking
energy, pans should be flat on the
bottom, have straight sides and
tight fitting lids. Match the size
of the saucepan to the size of the
surface unit. A pan that extends
more than an inch beyond the
edge of the drip pan traps heat
which causes discoloration ranging
from blue to dark gray on chrome
drip pans.
