The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface
element to the pan bottom, The most popular materials avalaible are:
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor, Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized
aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting), If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scatches, Remove these marks
immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic
glass (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to
clean and resists staining.
CAST _RON _ A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once
cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL ° Heating characteristics will vary depending on base
material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may
scratch the glass.
