Selecting Surface Cooking 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).
Cookware Haterial types
The cookware material determines how evenly and
quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to
the pan bottom. The most popular materials available
are:
ALUHINUH- Excellent heat conductor. Some types
of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave
metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove
these marks immediately.
COPPER- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum
above),
Figure 1
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 2.
CORRECT INCORRECT
t" 1"
- 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 and the size
of the surface element.
- Made of material that
conducts heat well.
- Easy to clean,
- Always match pot
diameter to element
surface diameter,
- Curved and warped pan
bottoms.
Pan overhangs unit by
more than one-half inch.
÷1 I'_
- Pan is smaller than the
element.
Heavy handle tilts the
pan.
Figure 2
STAINLESS STEEL- Slow heat conductor with uneven
cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists
staining.
CAST IRON- A poor heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN=ENAHEL on HETAL- Heating
characteristics will vary depending on base material.
Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS- Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results,
Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with fiat 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 heating element) 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).
DO NOT use two elements (if the cooktop is not equipped
with bridge element) to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry.
The bottom surface of the pan in either of these situations
could cause discoloring or crazing of the porcelain enamel
range surface, and damage to the surface elements and/
or damage to the drip pans (if equipped).
Canning Tips & :Information
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully.
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
2. Use fiat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is fiat.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to
reduce the time it takes to bring the water to a boil;
then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. :It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms
must be in direct contact with the surface elements.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring
that extends beyond the surface element. Because
this ring traps heat, the surface element and cool<top
surface could be damaged.
/
For glass smoothtop models,
only fiat bottomed woks
(without support rings) may
be used.
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid
to vent steam away from you.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that
extend more than one inch beyond the ed_
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to
allow the units and surrounding surfaces to cool
down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When
canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil
must be maintained cont!nuous!y for the required time- .........
