Glass: There aretwo types ofglass
cookware—thatfor oven use only
and that for top-of-riingecooking

(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can
be used for either surface or oven

cooking. It conducts heat very

slowlyand cools very slow~y.

Check cookware manu~~cturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used

on gas ranges.

StainlessSteel:This metal alone

has poor heating properties, and is

usually combined with copper,

improved heat distribution.

The shelves are designedwith stop­locksso when placed correctly on
the shelf supports, they will stop
beforecoming completely out of

When placing cookware on a shelf,
pullthe shelf out to the “stop”
