Figure 1

Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should
have flat bottoms that Q
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 or on the cooktop.

Using a wok (some models)

CORRECT

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Flat bottom and straight
sides.

Tight fitting lids.

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

Pan sizes match the amount

of food to be prepared.

Made of material that

conducts heat well.

Easy to clean.

Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1”).

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Flame extends beyond pan.

Figure 2

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

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.
