Surface Cooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire
surface heating
element. Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the
bottom of the Figure 1
cookware (See
Figure 1). Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2.
Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
Using a wok
CORRECT
W
INCORRECT
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
= Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.
Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
Pan overhangs burner grate by
more than 2.5 cm (1").
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Flame extends beyond pan.
Figure 2
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may
be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware
requirements.
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
circumference) 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).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends
beyond the burner circumference.
Because this ring traps heat, the
surface unit and cooktop surface
could be damagedj_!

Using the simmer plate
The simmer plate is intended to diffuse lower temperature of the burner to help cooking
delicate aliment such as chocolate, milk, bechamel, etc.., it can also be use for cooking
sauce during long period. With the grate in position over the burner, set the simmer plate on
top of the grate positioning the notches in the simmer plate over the grate fingers and then
place the utensil on the simmer plate.
Simmer Plate
Always place the simmer plate on the grate before to turn on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the simmer plate from the grate. Allow the simmer plate to cool
before removing. Do not set hot simmer plate on surfaces that cannot withstand high heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the simmer plate is positioned correctly and stable before use to prevent hot spills and
possible burns.
