Top-Of-Range Cookware; Wok Cooking - GE JGBS02EM Use And Care & Installation Manual

How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND
UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat
the handle.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use
saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-those
for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.

Wok Cooking

(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at
your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
without the ring in place,
can be dangero;s. Placing the
ring over the burner grate may
cause the burner to work improperly resulting in
carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This could be dangerous to your health.
Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic:
surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very
slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware
manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used
on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat
distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Use of Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills
on your sealed gas burners.
If you use the stove top
grill on the sealed gas
burner it will cause
incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
