boil or simmer.
MEDIUM LOW—(Setting halfway between MED
and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little
water in covered pan.
LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to
tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt
butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.
NOTE: Surface Indicator Light may glow between
LO and OFF, but there is no power to the surface units.
Cookware
Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
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 of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the trim ring more than l".
