●
When cooking pork,
follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
Oven
●
Stand away from the range when opening the
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
●

COOKING TIPS
● Use medium-or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
● For best cooking results pans should be
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the module element. The pan should not extend over
the edge of the trim ring more than 1 inch.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch

THAN WATER. Most syrup
all types of frying-cook at temperatures much higher
than boiling water. Such temperatures
harm cooktop surfaces surrounding the modules.
This is because boiling water temperatures (even
under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding the modules.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
element. If your range or its location does not
allow
the canner to be centered on the element, use
smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.
2. For best results, use canners with flat bottoms.
Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) don’t make good contact
with the cooking element and take a long time to
boil water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
When canning, use recipes and procedures from

are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars

Agriculture Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a process that generates

large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If
your house has low voltage, canning
may take longer than expected, even though
directions have been carefully followed.

up and cool down times depend on initial temperature
settings, the type of cookware used and the amount
food being cooked.
Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the element
f-aster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Remember, cooking continues after the element is
turned off, so train yourself to turn the heat down
or off before cooking is done.

COOKWARE TIPS FOR
MODULE COOKING ELEMENTS
The use of appropriate cookware is very important
for cooking on open coil, solid disk element or
radiant modules.
● Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than
other metals.
● Cast iron and coated cast iron containers are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at minimum
heat settings.
● Glass cookware should be used only
manufacturer describes.
●
Do
not use a wire rack or any other kind of
retarding pad between the cookware and the element.

heat-
● Good pans have
the heat from the cooking element. The thick,
bottom provides good heat distribution from the
element to the
little water, fat or electricity.
●
Pans with uneven bottoms are not suitable. Pans
with thin,
the heat coming from the cooking element. The
food to be cooked may burn and require more time
and electricity. You would also have to add more fat
or water.
How to Check Pan Performance on a Module Element
1.
Put I inch of water into the pan.
2. Bring water to a boil and observe the pattern of the
bubbles as the water comes to
a
boil.
3. A uniform pattern of bubbles across the bottom
of the pan confirms a good heat transfer

sufficient to remove the spill. Pans
should not overhang more
than 1 inch beyond the element.
●
To
optimize cooking time and
energy usage, you should use a
pan that is sized correctly for the
cooking process, with a
fitted lid to avoid evaporation
loss, and cook with as little water
or fat as possible. If the pan is too
small, energy is wasted and

Place only dry pans on the elements.
Do not place lids on the elements,
particularly wet lids.
● We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok. They
are available at your local retail store. The bottom of
the wok should have the same diameter as the
element to ensure proper contact.
● Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not

the HI heat setting causes excessive heat buildup and
may result in damage to the cooktop. See the Home
Canning Tips section for further information.

Some special cooking procedures require specific

etc. All cookware must have
correct size. The cookware should also be covered,

SOLID DISK MODULE
Before Using Your Solid Disk Module for the First Time
The top working surface of solid disk elements have a protective coating
which must be hardened before using the elements for the first time. To
harden this coating, the elements should be briefly heated without a pan
(the coating will stick to the pan). Heat the elements for approximately
5 minutes
