USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Using the proper cookware can prevent many problems,
such as food taking longer to cook or achieving
inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking
times and cook food more evenly. Stainless steel is
recommended.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight
edge or ruler
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2. Hold the ruler and pan up to the light.
3. No light should be visible between the ruler and the pan.
