Cookware
Characteristics
Porcelain
enamel-on-steel
or cast iron
■
See stainless steel or cast iron.
■
Porcelain enamel bakeware without the
metal base may bond to the cooktop if
overheated.
Stainless steel
■
Heats quickly, but unevenly.
■
A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy
efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the
cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not
extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) outside the area.
Home Canning
Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking
surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long
periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements
between batches. This allows time for the most recently used
areas to cool.
■
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
■
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements
at the same time.
■
On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
■
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies
that manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and
well-ventilated room.
NOTE:
The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
