Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

CORRECT

/

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

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 instruc­

tions. Some utensils were not made to be

used in the oven or on the cooktop.

Flat bottom and straight
sides.

Tight fitting lids.

Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.

of food to be prepared.

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers
may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.

Using a wok

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for

use on your cooktop are available
in most cook shop or hardware
stores. Round-bottomed woks (with

a support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) 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 unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
