Getting the most out of your appliance

Cooking suggestions for best results
Boil water in covered pot on High using largest burner
for best results. If water boils over, turn to a lower
setting.
When simmering, bring food to a boil first. Stir well to
be sure all the food is boiling, then cover and reduce
the flame to the desired setting to simmer.
There should be steam and slight quivering of the
liquid's surface while simmering.
Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking
temperature and heat food faster.
Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob
should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
It is normal to stir food occasionally.
Center the pan over the burner before turning the
burner on.
Use proper cookware.

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.
"Proper Cookware"
Settings recommendations
Uses

Pan frying, sautéing, browning meat,
deep frying
Shallow frying, eggs, pancakes,
bacon
Steaming, braising
Melting chocolate, melting butter,
simmering sauces, soups and stews
(i.e. tomato sauce, alfredo sauce, beef
stew, etc.)
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.
Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.
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).
