The choice of cookware directly affects the cooking performance (speed
and uniformity). For best results select pans with the following features.
Flat Base
When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the
surface without wobbling (rocking). Ideal cookware should have a flat
bottom, straight side, a well fitting lid and the material should be of
medium to heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
Match Pan Diameter to Radiant Element
The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the
element being used.
