Cookware Tips
Radiant Cooktop
Types of
cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: recommended
Aluminum: heavyweight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residue
sometimes appears 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: recommended
Copper Bottoms: usable, but not recommended
Pans with copper bottoms may leave residue
appearing as scratches. Remove any residue
immediately after use. Do not let a pot boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to the glass
cooktop and leave a permanent stain if it is
not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast-iron cookware that is
not completely covered with smooth porcelain
enamel, since it may scratch the glass ceramic
cooktop.
Glass-Ceramic: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Use pans that match the diameter of the
surface element. Cooking performance will not
be as good if the cookware is either smaller or
larger than the surface element.
For best
results
• Place only dry pans on the surface elements.
Do not place lids on the surface elements,
particularly wet lids.
• Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
surface elements.
• 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.
• Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure cookers,
deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have
flat bottoms and be the correct size.
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.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped
bottoms are not recommended.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
