PREVENTING BURNS FROM HOT KNOBS
Ensure the cookware does not exceed the size
of the grates. Cookware that is larger than the
grates may cause the flames to get too close
to the knobs creating a burn hazard when
touched.
The flame should be the same size as the bottom
▯
of the pan or smaller.
Do not use small pans with high flame settings as
▯
the flames can spread up the sides of the pan.
Oversized pans that span two burners should not
▯
exceed the size of the grates and should be
placed front to back, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
Balance is important for stability and even cook-
▯
ing.
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
▯
rocking or wobbling.
Center pan over burner.
▯
Proper Fitting Lid
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
▯
For best cooking results, always use a lid when
▯
boiling water.
General Tips
Proper Cookware
Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
▯
evenly.
Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
▯
cook unevenly.
Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
▯
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
▯
stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
▯
ridged as they heat unevenly.
