Surface Cooking Tips
• Use low or medium ame heights when cooking in vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the ame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating
within the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
• Reduce the ame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the cooking vessel. A ame that extends along the sides of the vessel is
potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead of the food, and wastes energy.
• Reduce the ame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks
just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away
moisture, and causes a loss in food avor and nutrient level.
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but
not recommended.

Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being
done. Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels
with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free
from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
Note: When using big pots and/or high ames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and
potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
