Using the correct cookware
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking times. Look for the
following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan
• Pan is well-balanced
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface element.
• Made of material that conducts heat well. See Types of cookware on page 27.
SETTING
TYPE OF COOKING
HIGH
Starting most foods, bringing water to a boil, or pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH
Continuing a rapid boil, frying, deep fat frying, or steaming
vegetables

Maintaining a slow boil or thickening sauces and gravies,
MEDIUM LOW

Keeping food warming or melting
CAUTION:
• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than three hours.
• Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center because the cookware and plates will be hot.
• Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming center could result in illness.
Note:
• The warming center does not glow red like the cooking elements.
• Pressing the
Off/Clear
pad does not turn the warming center off.
• For best results, all foods on the warming center should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads,
the cover should be vented to let moisture escape.
