A
quick scour with a soap-filledsteel

aluminum cookware looking shiny
and new. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids for cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly,most
skillets will give satisfactoryresults.
Enamelware: Under some
conditions, the enamel of some
cookwaremaymelt. Followcookware
manufacturer'srecommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware—thosefor oven use only
and those for top-of-rangecooking
(saucepans, coffeepots and
teapots). Glass conducts heat very
slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can
be used for either surface or oven
cooking. It conducts heat very
slowly and cools very slowly.
Check cookware manufacturer's
directions t o
be sure it can be used
on gas ranges,
Stiinless Steel: This metal alone
has poor heating properties, and is
usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution.
Combination metal ski~letsusually
work satisfactorily if they are
used with medium heat as the
man~~facturer recommends.
