Selecting Types Of Cookware; For Best Results - GE PP989DNBB - Profile 30" Smoothtop Electric Downdraft Cooktop Use And Care Manual

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 .
