Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum

■ Heats quickly and evenly.

formost cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residue which may

be diminished if cleaned immediately

after cooking.

Cast iron

■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch

thecooktop.

Ceramic or

ceramic glass

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low-to-medium heat

settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Copper

■ Heats very quickly and evenly.

diminished if cleaned immediately after

cooking.

tothe cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware

Porcelain

enamel-on-steel

or cast iron

■ See stainless steel or cast iron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without the

metal base may bond to the cooktop if

overheated.

Stainless steel

■ Heats quickly, but unevenly.

■ A core or base of aluminum or copper

on stainless steel provides even heating.

Use at-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy

efciency. The cookware should be about the same size as the

cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not

extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) outside the area.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface

or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods,

alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between

batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or

element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend

more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area

orelement.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements

atthe same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only at-bottomed canners

toavoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension

ofce or refer to published home canning guides. Companies

that manufacture home canning products can also offer

assistance.
