There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the correct cooking utensils for your needs. l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface burners. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porcelain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface burner. Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are now available in most stores that sell housewares. l The pan should have straight sides and a tightfitting lid. l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. The pan material (metal or glass) affects how l fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.

information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop. To protect your range: . For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.

Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time. Too much heat will build up and will damage the cooktop. Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
