To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom cookpots that conform to the diameter of the solid element (no more than one inch overhang). Proper cookpots will minimize cooking times, use less electricity, cook food more evenly and require less water or oil. Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequately conduct heat from the solid element to the food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned or underdone food. Using bad cookpots also requires more water, time, and energy to cook food.

Select heavy gauge cookpots. Usually heavy gauge cookpots will not change shape when heated. Usecookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. The two ways to determine ifcookpots have a flat, smooth bottom are the ruler test and the cooking test. Ruler Test: 1. Place the edge of ruler across the bottom of the pot. 2. Hold up to the light. 3. No light should be visible under the ruler. 1. Put 1 inch of water into the Cooking Test: cookpot. I 2. Place cookpot on the solid ele- _, i , [,, setting. Observe the bubble formation to determine the control to the HI _ ment. Turn heat distribution. | If the bubbles are uniform across the cookpot, the cookpot will perform satisfactorily. Ifthe bubbles are not uniform, the bubbles will indicate the hot spots.
