cooking utensils that are most appropriate for the type cooking being
done. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthern ware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for glass rangetop use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. As with any

dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience.
