Cooking Utensils
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface
element. Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom. There should be
no gaps between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's
instructions. Some utensils were not
made to be used in the oven or on the
cooktop.
To Operate the Radiant Surface Units
Push in and turn the surface unit control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Each surface unit provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting; then turn to a lower setting to finish.
A glowing red surface unit extending beyond the bottom edge of the cooking
utensil indicates the utensil is too small for the unit. The control knob does not have
to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the
control knob as needed.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface unit.
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these
characteristics:
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used
but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
