Surface Cooking Tips

• The simmer lineon thecontrol panelis the

beginning ofthe variable simmersetting and
produces ahigh simmersetting. Turnthe knob
slowly towards“OFF” andthe flame willadjust toa
lower simmersetting.

• Use low ormedium flameheights when cookingin

cookware thatare poorconductors of heat,such as
glass, ceramic,and castiron. Reduce theflame
height untilit covers approximately1/3 ofthe
cookware diameter.This willensure moreeven
heating withinthe cookwareand reduce the
likelihood ofburning or scorchingthe food.

• Reduce the flameif itis extended beyondthe

bottom ofthe cookware.A flame thatextends
along thesides of thecookware ispotentially
dangerous, heatsthe cookwarehandle and kitchen
instead ofthe food, andwastes energy.

• Reduce the flameheight tothe minimum level

necessary toperform the desiredcooking process.
Remember thatfood cooksjust as quicklyat a
gentle boilas it doesat arolling boil.Maintaining
a higherboil than isnecessary causesa lossin food
flavor andnutrients.
