Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or hea\y-weight cookware.
_kdtllllilltllll cookware conducts heat tipster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coamd
cast-iron cookware are slow to _lbsorb
heat but generall_ cook exenl_ at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucei)an to the size of the stu]i_ce unit.
The pan should not extend over the
edge ot the stu_hce unit more than 1".
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthat youuseonlya flat-bottomed
wok. Theyareavailableatyour localretail store.
Do not use wo!<_that have support rings.
Placing the ring o'_er the surli_ce unit will
cause a buildu I) of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.
Home CanningTips
Be sure the canner is centered o_er the
