Choosing Suitable Cookware
Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the
▯
pan or smaller.
Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the
▯
flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to
▯
back, not side to side.
For best cooking results, large pans should not extend
▯
over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
Balance is important for stability and even cooking.
▯
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking
▯
or wobbling.
Center pan over burner.
▯
Proper Fitting Lid
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
▯
For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling
▯
water.
Specialty cookware
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and
▯
fish poachers, may be used when placed front to
back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly.
Use a Wok with a flat bottom.
▯
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same
▯
requirements as described above. After bringing
contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to
maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/
cookers).
Proper Cookware
Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
▯
evenly.
Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
▯
cook unevenly.
Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
▯
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
Heat setting
Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
▯
stability.
High
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
Medium High
▯
ridged as they heat unevenly.
Medium
