Surface Cooking GuRde
Ceokware Tips
1. Use medium- or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum
cookware
conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast
iron and coated cast iron cookware
is slow to absorb
heat, but generally
cooks evenly at LOW or MEDIUM
settings,, Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not com-
bined with other metals,
Flat ground Pyroceram ® saucepans
or skillets coated
on the bottom with aluminum
generally
cook evenly_
Use
glass
saucepans
with
heat-spreading
trivets
available
for that purpose,
2. To conserve
the most cooking
energy, pans should
be flat on the bottom,
have straight
sides and tight-
fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan
to the size
of the surface
unit. A pan that extends
more than an
inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat which
causes
"crazing"
(fine hairline cracks) on porcelain,
and discoloration
ranging
from blue to dark gray on
chrome
drip pans
