For cooking on solid disk
elements, the use of appropriate
cookware is very important.
●
Aluminum cookware conducts
heat faster than other metals,
●
Cast iron and coated cast iron
containers are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at
minimum or medium heat settings.
●
Glass cookware should be used
as the manufacturer describes.
. Do not use a wire trivet or any
other kind of heat-retarding pad
between the cookware and the
element.
●
Good pans have a thick, flat
bottom which absorbs the heat from
the element. The thick, flat bottom
provides good heat distribution
from the element to the food. This
cooking process requires little
water, fat or electricity.
●
Pans with thin, uneven bottoms
do not adequately utilize the heat
coming from the element. The food
to be cooked may burn and require
more time and electricity. You
would also have to add more fat or
water.

. Don’t use pans with rounded
bottoms. They don’t have enough
contact with the solid disk element
to cook properly.

Use pans of the correct diameter

A damp cloth is sufficient
to remove the spill. Pans should not
overhang more than 1 inch beyond
the element.
●
To optimize cooking time and
energy usage, you should use a
pan that is sized correctly for the
cooking process, with a well-fitted
●
Place only dry pans on the solid
disk element. Do not place lids on
the element, particularly wet lids.
●
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cookware such as
pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc., All cookware must have flat
bottoms and be the
size. The
cookware should
be covered,
if applicable to the cooking process.
