Cookware

Requirements
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot
or pan.
Material characteristics
• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for top-
of-range cooking or oven use.

Size limitations
6" or less
CAUTION
• Do not place a small pan or pot with a
bottom diameter of about 6" or less on
the center grate. This cookware may
tip over. Use the rear burners for this
small-sized cookware.
• Always make sure cookware handles
are turned to the side or rear of the
cooktop, but not over other surface
burners. This will minimize the chance
of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of
flammable materials that can be caused
if pots or pans are bumped accidently.
• When using glass cookware, make sure
it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the
cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt
or ignite plastic items or cause build up
of dangerous pressure in closed plastic
containers. You may get severe burns
if you touch the surfaces near the vent
while the oven is operating.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a
wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
