Cookware Recommendations

What Should You Consider in Cookware?

Flat Pan Test

For best cooking results, use a pan

with a flat bottom. To determine if

pan has a flat bottom:

1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat, gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler can be seen.

2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed rings, or an

uneven bottom, it does not cook efficiently and in some

cases may not boil liquid.

Flat bottomed ceokware. Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms. Heavy gauge metal coekware. Light gauge metal ceokware.

Handles that are secure, that are not Cookware with loose or broken handles or heavy enough to tilt pan. heavy handles that tip pan when empty.

Proper pan size. Cookware that is smaller than or greater than

Flat bottomed wok Wok with a ringstand on bottom.

SELECT AVOID

burner grate by ! inch.

Can I can?

Canning is not recommended with

any of the Amana gas ranges or cooktops due to the intense heat and large cookware required to can.

The high, sustained heat generated by the canning coo_vare overheats both the burners and the surface of the range or cooktop. This may cause damage to burners, kalobs, or finish, and may even cause overheating of surrounding walls.

Damage incurred by canning, or attempting to can, is not covered under

warranty.

Features

12-hour automatic cancel

This safety feature prevents oven from continuing to operate if it has been

left on for over 12 hours. If a cooking function continues longer than 12 hours without any options on oven control being touched, this feature turns oven off. Any time an option is touched, 12-hour automatic cancel is reset.

Oven temperature control adjustment

Your range is calibrated at the factory for proper temperature. Due to

individual variances and preferences, it may be necessary to adjust oven once it has been installed.

When first using the oven, follow recipe times and temperatures. Before adjusting oven baking temperature, test a recipe by setting oven temperature

higher or lower than the suggested temperature. The baking results should

help you to decide how much of a temperature adjustment is required. An accurate digital thermometer is necessary to calibrate the oven. Store

purchased oven thermometers do not accurately measure oven temperature.

Oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 35°R To avoid over adjusting the oven, only adjust the temperature by 5°F each time.
