TYPE OF COOKING
Starting most foods, bringing water to a boil, or pan broiling.
Continuing a rapid boil, frying, deep fat frying, or steaming vegetables.
Maintaining a slow boil or thickening sauces and gravies.
Keeping foods cooking, poaching, or stewing.
Keeping food warm, melting, or simmering.
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems,such as uneven cooking or extended cooking
times.Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan
• Pan is well-balanced
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface burner.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface
burner to the pan bottom.
MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS

(Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.) If you slide
aluminum pans across the ceramic cook top, they may leave metal marks
that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cook top
cools down
