Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a fiat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
without the ring in place, can
be dangerous. Placing the
ring over the surface unit
will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the
porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be seriously burned if
the wok tipped over.
SURFACE C00KWARE TIPS
(Glass Cooktop models only)
Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: keavy weigkt recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be
removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Porcelain/enameh
Good performance only with a thick, fiat, smooth
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and
fuse to the surface.
Copper Bottom: heavyweight recommended
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots boil diN.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Stoneware: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Cast Iron: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
