Selecting Proper Cookware
• Select heavy gaugecookpots. Usuallyheavy gauge cookpots willnot change
shape when heated.
• Use cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. To determine ifthe cookpot isflat,
place the edge of a ruler on the bottom. Hold upto the light. No light should be
visible between the edge of the ruler and the pan. Rejectany pans that do not
fit flush against ruler's edge.
• Match the size of the cookpot to the size of the element. Cookpot should be
the same size or slightly larger.
Improper Cookware
• Do not use cookware that extends more than 1 inch beyond the cooking area.
• Cookware that issmaller in diameter thanthe cooking area should not be used.
Not onlycanthis cause theelement to require moreenergyandtime, butcanalso
result inspillovers burning onto the cooking area resulting in a cleaning chore.
• Do not use nonflat specialty items that are oversized, uneven or do not meet
proper cookware specifications such as round bottom woks with rings, griddles,
rippled bottomcanners, lobsterpots,large pressure canners,etc. Large utensils,
such as pressure canners or oversized skillets, should be used onlyon
conventional coil cartridges if they do not meet this test.
• Glass-ceramic, earthenware, heat proof glass or glazed cookpots may scratch
the glass ceramic cooktop and therefore are not recommended.
