NOTE
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of
food being cooked to save energy when heating.
Heating 1/2 quart of water requires more energy
in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface heating
element. Check for flatness by placing a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. The ruler
should touch the cookware across the entire
bottom, with no gaps.
Cookware Recommendations
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Heavy-gauge pans
• Pan sizes that match the amount of food to be
prepared and the size of the surface element
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced
• Tight-fitting lids
• Flat bottom woks
Cookware should not
• have a curved or warped
bottom.
• be smaller or larger than
the surface burner.
• have a heavy handle that
tilts the pan.
• be a wok with a ring
stand.
• have loose or broken handles.
• have loose-fitting lids.
