How to Select Flame Size
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as gou reduce
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame
size on a gas burner should match the
cookware gou are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
