Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom.

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 isequipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the
burner unit. Becausethis ring traps heat,
the surface unit and cooktop surface
could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire 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.
