o Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the dement off a few minutes
before food is completely cooked and
use the retained heat to complete the
cooking.
Becauseof the heat retention charac-
teristics, the dements will not respond
to changesin settings asquickly ascoii
dements. #n the event ore potential
boilover, remove the pan _rom the
cooking area.
To achieveoptimum cooking performance,
use heavy-gauge, f iat, smooth bottom pans
that conform to the diameter of the cook-
ing area. ( See _CooRing Made Simple _t
for cookware characteristics and recom-
mendations.)
