Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give
good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using
any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum
residues sometimes appear as
scratches on the cooktop but can
be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin
weight aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which
can appear as scratches. The
residues can be removed, as long as
the cooktop is cleaned immediately.
However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a
residue that will permanently stain the
cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted)
on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is
coated
Avoid/Not
Recommended
Enamel (painted)
on Steel:
Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop
glass. The enamel can melt and
bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Poor performance. Will scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended—unless designed
specifically for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to
absorb heat. Will scratch the
cooktop surface.
Ŷ Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the surface
elements, particularly wet lids. Wet pans and
lids may stick to the surface when cool.
Ŷ Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
surface elements.
Ŷ We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter as the
surface element to ensure proper contact.
Ŷ Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure cookers
or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have
flat bottoms and be the correct size.
Check pans for flat
bottoms by using a
straight edge.
Pans with rounded,
curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Do not place wet pans on
the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use flat-bottomed woks on
the glass cooktop.
