Cookware Material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface unit to the pan bottom.

The most popular materials available are:

ALUMINUM

- Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists

staining & pitting).

COPPER

- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

STAINLESS STEEL

- Slow heat conductor with uneven

cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON

- A poor heat conductor however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached.

PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL

- Heating characteristics

will vary depending on base material.

GLASS

- Slow heat conductor.

Surface Cookware Recommendations

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should have

at bottoms that make good contact

with the cooktop grate. Check for

atness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 1). Be

sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as

shown in Figure 2.

Note:

The size and type of cookware used will in

uence the

setting needed for best cooking results.

Note:

Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow

manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils were not made to

be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure

cookers may be used but must conform to the above

recommended cookware requirements.

CORRECT

• Flat bottom

and straight

sides.

• Tight

tting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bot-

toms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more

than 2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

Figure 2

Figure 1

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the

burner unit. Because this ring traps heat,

the surface unit and cooktop surface

could be damaged.

Using a Wok

(not supplied)

Woks

with

at bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop

are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round-

bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend

beyond the burner unit) may also be used. The metal ring

was designed to support the wok safely when it is

lled with

large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets:

Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must

be in direct contact with the grates.
