Avoid Overheating:  Check Your Burner

 

If food is smoking or burning, reduce heat. Using medium or 

lower heat and limiting the time the empty pan is heating are the 
basic techniques to avoid overheating. 

The pan can overheat even on medium heat if the burner is 

providing excessive heat.

  To check if your burner can overheat 

even on medium heat, place clean pan on medium heat.  Heat pan for 
the minutes given in the following chart:
