Selecting the proper flame size
The flame size should match the cookware you are using. Watch the
flame, not the knob, to adjust the heat. A flame larger than the bottom
of the cookware wastes energy and will heat the handle.
■ High flame - Start food cooking, bring water to a boil, pan broiling.
■ Medium flame - Maintain a slow boil, fry or sauté, thicken sauces,
steam, stew.
■ Low flame - Keep food cooking, simmer, keep food warm.
Cookware
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-
fitting lid. The material should be medium to heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
cookware may be used but may leave permanent marks on the grates
or cooktop. Use the chart below as a guide for cookware material.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking
area or burner.
Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of burners between
batches to allow time for the most recently used area to cool.
■ Center the canner on the gate.
■ Do not place the canner on 2 burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural department or a
company that manufactures home canning products.
