COOKING UTENSILS I
ALUMINUM- Conductsheat quicklyi
and evenly. The heavier the gauge. ! •
(thickness) the more durable.
Aluminum may discolorfrom alkaline
foods and pit from acid foods.
COPPE8 - Very good heat conductor,
but discolors easily. Used primarily
for bottom coatings and gourmet
cookware.
STAINLESS S TEEL. Alone it is a poor
conductor, develops hot spots and
produces uneven cooking results.
However,it is durable, easyto clean,
and somewhat stain resistant. Coat-
ing stainless steel with a copper or
aluminum bottom results in an easy-
to-clean,utensil, durable, even cooking
CAST IRON - Slow to conductheat, but
retains the heat well. Heavyto handle
and must be kept well seasonedto
prevent sticking and rusting.
GLASS/GLASS.CERAMIC Transfers
heat slowly and unevenly, but holds
heat well.
Only certain types of glass,_
glasslceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop servicewithout
breaking due to thesuddenchangein
temperature. Check and follow
manufacturer'srecommendeduse or
limitationsfor such utensils.
