Switching heats to higher settings always show a
quicker change than switching to lower settings.
U*ofYourcookingArea
The cooking area, under the sunburst pattern, turns
yellow as it heats. When the control is turned to
OFF, the cooking area cools and returns to the original white color. The heat is transferred from the
heating element, through the flat surface of the
cooking area, up through the bottom of the cooking
utensil to the food.
For IEMling:
1.Start with heats suggested on the Cooking Chart
and switch heats to lower settings, or in some cases
to OFF, to complete cooking, The glass-ceramic
material retains heat which can be utilized to complete cooking of some foods or for keeping some
foods at serving temperature. Experience with your
utensils, the foods in the amounts you cook, the
doneness you prefer, etc. will indicate to you the
best heats for your needs. See utensil tips on
Cooking Chart, pages 7 &.8for hints on your “pots
and pans.”
2. Most foods cooked with liquid will come to a boil
and continue to cook more efficiently when there is
a cover on the utensil.
Some foods, cereals, pastas, seafood, some meats
and poultry, etc. foam and bubble up in cooking. All
liquids, regardless of their nature, expand when
brought to boil. When boiling the foods that foam
5
————..————...—
Page 6
and other foods, be certain to use a utensil large
enough to allow for expansion. With the foods
which foam, adding a tablespoon of cooking oil to
the water before cooking will help prevent the foam
from forming. Also, removing or tilting the cover
helps prevent a boilover of foam-producing foods.
Eloilovers will create a cleanup job, so follow suggestions for best settings, utensil sizes and other
hints to keep cleaning to a minimum.
3. Switching heats to higher settings always shows
a quicker change than switching to lower settings.
For Frying:
1. For crisp, well-brownedexterior, cook food in
utensil without a cover, See Cooking Chart for suggested settings for best browning with a minimum
of spattering and smoking. Experience will indicate
which settings are best for the food being cooked in
your utensils.
2. For soft or lightly browned exterior, such aspancakes, French toast, etc., one heat setting to heat
utensil and cook food is sometimes adequate. For
very soft foods, such as fried or scrambled eggs,
frequently one setting can be used to heat and
cook. Also depending on the ulensil material and
quantity of eggs, sometimes fried eggs can bee
cooked in a heated utensil with the control at OFF
For E$raislngor SWvdrtg:
Heat utensil at HIGH long enough to melt fat, then
reduce heat to MED HI for browning meat. Add
iiquid and reduce heat to LOW, cover utensil and
cook until meat is tender.
For i$f~kirig Sauces, Gravies, i%ddlngs, Etc.
For most thickenedliquidmixtures, blend the
thickening (flour, etc.) with cold liquid (plus salt,
flavorings, etc.); cook, stirring constantly on MED
or LOW heat. Pan gravies and white sauces are
often made by blending flour thoroughly with hot
melted fat before adding liquid.
NOTE: AT HIGH and MED HI heat settings, never
leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking;
grease spiilovers may catch fire. Boil dry situations
can cause utensil damage or permanent damage to
glass surface area.
HomeCanningTips
Canning should i3edone on cooktop only.
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the
use of large-diameterutensils (extendingmore
than l-inchbeyond edge of cooking area) is not
recommended. However, when canning with waterbath or pressure canner, large-diameterutensils
may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER UTENSILS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—andall
types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher
than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding heating
units.
1. Bring water to boil on HIGH heat, then after boiling has begun, adjust heat to Iowe$t setting to main-
tain boil (saves energy and best uses cooking
surface).
2. Be sure canner fits over center of cooking area.
3. It is most important when canning on the glass-
ceramic cooktop that the bottom of the canner is
flat or slight indentation fits snugly over cooking
area. Canners with flanged or rippled bottom
(often found in enamel-ware) are not recommence
4. When canning,use recipes fromreputable
sources. Reliable recipes are available from the
manufacturerof your canner; manufacturers of
glass jars for canning; such as Ball and Kerr; and,
the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in following the recipes, canning is a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be
careful while canning to prevent burns from steam
or heat.
NOTE: If your surface section is being operated on
low power (voltage), canning may take longer than
expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process may be improved by: (1)
using a pressure canner, and (2) for fastest heating
of large water quantities, begin with HOT tap water.
< Use a minimumamountof fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full
of faf can cause Spiiioverswhen food is added.
+/ Keep an eye cm foods which fry at HIGH or
- MEDIUM heats.
./ If a combinationof oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly. Always heat fat slowly, and watch fat
as it heats.
< Use deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat (beyond the smoking
point).
/Foods for frying should be dry as possible on
exterior surfaces. Frost on frozen foods or mois-.-k
ture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubbl -{$$~

1. Use medium or heavy-weight cooking containers. Aluminum containers conduct heat faster than other metals. Cast iron and coated
cast iron containers arc?slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at LOW or MEDIUM settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if
not combined with other metals. Use non-stick coated or coated metal containers. Fiat ground pyroceram saucepans or skillets coated
on the bottom with aluminum cook evenly. Glass saucepans should be used with the heat-spreading trivets available for that purpose.
2. To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight fitting lids. Match the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit. Containers with extremely concave or convex bottoms, like Oriental woks, should not be used.
3. Cannhg can be done on the cooktop only. Be sure canner is flat on the bottom. Flanged or rippled bottoms are not recommended.
Do not use canners over 1 inch larger in diameter than size of chrome ring extending over edges of heating units. Be careful of steam.
4. Frying. Do not overfill kettle with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at
HIGH temperatures and keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease
