Selecting Types Of Cookware; For Best Results - GE Profile PP989SNSS Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Selecting types of cookware.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Use a pan that matches the diameter of the surface element you are using. Cooking performance will not be as
good if the cookware itself is smaller or larger than the surface unit.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.
Do not place wet pans
on the glass cooktop.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass cooktops. An overheated copper
bottom pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the cooktop if not
removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered
Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.

For Best Results

Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the
surface elements, particularly wet lids.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
