COOKMEATANDPOULTRYTHOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°Eand poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°ECooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITSfa//mode/s)

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface un# heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

• Never leave the sm_fi_ce units unattended at high heat settings, goilove_s cause smoking and greasy

spillove_ that may catch on fire.

• Use little tilt fi_r effective shallow or deep lilt flTing. Filling tile pan too flfll of tilt c[lIl c[Itlse spillove_

when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or tilts will be used in flTing, stir together befl)re heating, or as lilts melt slowly:

• _Mwa_:s heat tilt slowl}; and watch as it heats.

• Only certain types of glass, glassX eramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitnble for cooktop service; othei_ inay break because of

tile sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize tile possibility of bm'ns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, tile handle of

a container should be turned toward tile center of the range without extending over nearby

smbfilce units.

• _Mwavs tm'n tile surtilce milts off heft)re removing

cookw_li'e.

• Use a deep Iilt them/ometer whenever possible to prevent overhearing lilt beyond the smoking point.

• Keep an eve on foods being flied at high or medimn high heat settings.

• Foods fl)r fl')ing should be as dry as possible. Frost on fl'ozen fi)ods or moisture on fl'esh fi)ods can cause

hot lilt to bubble up and over tile sides of tile pan.

• Do not leave any items on the cooktop, The hot air fl'om the vent may ignite flammable items and will

increase pressm'e in closed contnine_5, which may cause them to bm_t.

• Do not leave plastic or flammable items on tile cooktoI)---they ma) melt or ignite if left too close

to tile _,eIlt.

COILSURFACEUNITS(onsomemode/s)

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)

Use inediuin- (:,r hea',T-weight cookware.

Muminum cookware conducts heat fhsmr than

other metals. Cast-iron and coamd 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 fiat on tile bottom. Match the size of tile saucei)an to

the size of the surfi_ce unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the s/mfi_ce unit more

than 1 inch.

Selecting typesofcookware.

Wok Cooking (electric coil models only)

Werecommend thatyou use onlya flat-bo_omedwok. Theyareavailable at yourlocalretail store.

Do not use woes that have support rings.

Use of these t,/pes of woes, with ()r without

the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Deep Fat Frying

Do not ovedill cookware with tilt that may spill over when adding food. Frost' foods

bubble vigorously. Watch food ti'ying at high temperatures. Kee I) range and hood clean fYOlil grease.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surlilce unit.

Make sure the canner is fiat on the bottom.

Placing the ring over the sm_hce unit will cause a build-u I) of heat that will damage the

po_velain cooktop. Do not t_y to use such woks without the ring. _m could be seriously

burned if the wok tipped over.

Use recipes and procedures fl'om reputable
