evenly.
Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
▯
cook unevenly.
Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
▯
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
▯
stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
▯
ridged as they heat unevenly.
