EnergySavingTips

@ Usecooking utensils of medium weight

aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and flat bot­toms which completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
@ Watchfoods whenbringing them quickly
to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature,
reduce heat immediately to lowest setting
that will keep it cooking.
* Use residual heat with surface cooking
whenever possible. For example, when
cooking eggs in the shell, bring water to
boil, then turn to OFF position to complete
the cooking.

@ Cook fresh vegetables with a minimum
amount of water in a covered pan.

Alwaysturn surface unit OFF before

@
removing utensil.
O Use correct heat for cooking task. . .

HIGH heats to start cooking (if time allows,

do not use HIGH heat to start), MEDIUM

HIGH—quick brownings, MEDIUM—SIOW
frying, LOW—finish cooking most quanti­ties, WARM—double boiler heat, finish
cooking, and special for small quantities.

o When boiling water for tea or coffee,

heat only the amount needed. It is not eco-

nomical to boil a container full of water for

only one or two cups.

fitting lids) are ideal for nutritious cooking with little water.Use regular, and non-stick tm
finishes. Follow directions given in the Surface Cooking Charton the following pages. Rec­ommended aluminum utensik were used in testing food for this chart.

3.

Use heat setting no higher than medium or follow manufacturer’s&ctions when using
utensils made of the following materials: cast iron, glass ceramic (pyroceram), and stitiess
steel. Also, some types of enamelware which under certain conditions could melt and fuse to
surface unit when higher hea~ areused. Manufacturersof glass cooking utensils also recom­mend heata no higher than MED and using a wire grid between utensil and electric surface
unit. Obtain grid when utensfl is purchased, or at Housewares Section of most department
stores.

4.

IT IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR GOOD HEAT CONDUCTION THAT UTENSILS
WITH FLAT BOTTOMS BE USED. Special cooking equipment without flat bottoms, .
such as the oriental wok, are not recommended. Life of surface unit can be shortened and
range top can be damaged due to high temperatures required in this type cooking.

OVEN.

In surface cookin of foods other than canning, the use of large diameter utensils (e~nding
more than l-inch yond edge of trim ring) is not r~mmended. Howeve~,when canning wifi
water-bath or pressure canner, larg~diameter utensils may be used. Th~ is because boiling
water tiperature (even under pressure) are not harmti b mktop surfaces surrounding
h-ting unit.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DWM­ETER UTENSILS FOR BOIHNG OR FRYING ~ODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most
syrup or sauce mixtures-and all tyrof frying-cook at temperatures much higher than
bofling water. Such temperatures co d eventually ham cooktop surfaces surrounding heat­ing units.
