Cookware
tips
l
Select a pan that is about the same size
as the surface unit.
l
NOTE: For best results
and greater
energy efficiency,
use only flat-bottomed
cookware that makes good contact with
the surface units. Cookware with rounded,
warped, ribbed (such as some porcelain
enamelware),
or dented bottoms could
cause severe overheating,
which damages
the cookware and/or surface unit.
You can, however, use the newer
cookware available with slightly indented
bottoms or very small expansion
channels.
This cookware is specially designed to
provide the good contact needed for best
cooking results.
Also, woks, canners, and teakettles with
flat bottoms suitable for use on your
cooktop are now available in most stores
that sell housewares.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting
lid.
l
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
