Top-of-Range
Cookware
Aluminum:
Medium-weight
cookware
is recommended
because
it heats quickly and evenly, Most
foods brown evenly in an
aluminum
skillet, Minerals
in food
and water wilt stain but will not
harm aluminum
A quick scour
with a soap-filled
steel wool pad
after each use keeps aluminum
cookware
looking shiny and new,
Use saucepans
with tight-fitting
lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most
skillets wilt give satisfactory
results.
Enamelware:
Under some
conditions,
the enamel of some
cookware
may melt, Follow

cookware--those

Stainless
Steel: This metal alone
has poor heating properties
and is
usually combined
with copper,

work satisfactorily
if they are used
with medium heat as the
manufacturer
