SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum RIGHT WRONG
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow
to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size
Not over 1 inch Over 1 inch
of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over
the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
