Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure
1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2.

Note:

The size and type of cookware used

will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.

Note:

Always use a utensil for its intended

purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven oron the cooktop.

Using a wok

Woks

with flat bottoms suitable for use

on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring
that does not extend beyond the
burner circumference) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is filled
with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.

Cookware bottoms must be in direct
contact with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with

a metal ring that extends beyond the
burner circumference. Because this
ring traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
