Proper Cookware - Bosch NGT73 Use And Care Manual

Cookware Characteristics
• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
– The flame should be the same size as the bottom
of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with
high flame settings as the flames can lick up the
sides of the pan.
– Oversize pans that span two burners are placed
front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
– Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
rocking.
– Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
– A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used when placed front to
back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly. Use the Bosch accessory griddle on your Bosch Cooktop. To
order, call the 800 number listed below.
Use a wok with a flat bottom. If using a round bottomed wok, use the Bosch accessory support wok
ring. To order call the 800 number listed below.
For simmering stews and soups, or melting chocolate, use the Bosch simmer plate accessory. The
simmer plate distributes the heat evenly and gently. The simmer plate is supplied with NGP models only,
but is available separately for the NGT. Follow use and care instructions provided with the simmer plate.
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above.
• After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for
pressure canners/cookers).
