More about Cookware
■ Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not
place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet
lids. Wet pans and lids may stick to smooth surface
when cool.
■ Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on the cooktop.
■ We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as
the surface element to ensure proper contact.
■ Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat
fryers. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be
the correct size.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.
These are available from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water
bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time
required to bring the water to a boil.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge. You should
not be able to pass a US nickel coin
under the straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Do not place wet pans on
the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.

on the glass cooktop.
