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 cookware. Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms. Heavy gauge metal cookware. Light gauge metal cookware. Handles that are secure, that are not

heavy enough to tilt pan. Proper pan size. Cookware that is smaller than or greater than

Flat bottomed wok Wok with a ringstand on bottom.

SELECT AVOID

Cookware with loose or broken handles or heavy handles that tip pan when empty.

burner grate by 1 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 cookware overheats both the burners and the surface of the range or cooktop. This may cause damage to burners, knobs, or finish, and may even cause overheating of surrounding walls.

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