Specialty Pans & Trivets
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores,
Round-bottomed woks (with a
support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) may also be
used, The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is
filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying),
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends
beyond the burner unit. Because this
ring traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Donot usewire trivets, Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates,
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry, The bottom surface of the
pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance
cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units,

bottom surface isflat,
3, Center canner on the burner grate,
4, Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting aslow as possible to
maintain a constant boil,
5, It isbest to can small amounts and light loads,
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1, Do not usewater bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate,
2, Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time,
3, Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down, Tryto avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day,
Safecanning requires that harmful micro-organisms aredestroyed
and the jars are sealed completely, When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time,
