Stainless Steel:
recommended
Selecting types of cookware.
The following information will help you choose cookware that will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Check for flat bottoms by us-
ing a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok.
They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tips over.
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with other
metals.
Surface Cookware Tips
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit than 1 inch.
Not over 1 inch
Use only flat-bottomed
woks
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give food performance on coil cooktops.
Home Canning Tips:
Be sure the canner is centered over the
surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bot-
tom.
Use recipes and procedures from repu-
table sources. These are available from
manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr®
and the Department of Agriculture Exten-
sion Service.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use
caution when canning.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the sur-
face.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the sur-
face.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered com-
pletely with porcelain enamel, this cook-
ware is recommended. Caution is recom-
mended for cast-iron cookware that is not
completely covered with smooth porce-
lain enamel, as it may scratch the glass-
ceramic cooktop.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can ap-
pear as scratches. The residues can be re-
moved, 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 re-
moved immediately.
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.
