21_ Surface cookinguSinG the ProPer cookWAreUsing the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extendedcooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.Check for flatness byrotating a ruler across thebottom of the cookware.CORRECT INCORRECTFlat bottom and straight sides.• Tight fitting lids.• Weight of handle does not tiltpan.• Pan is well balanced.• Pan size matches the amountof food to be preparedand the size of the surfaceelement.• Made of a material thatconducts heat well.• Always match pot diameter toelement surface diameter.Curved and warped panbottoms.Pan overhangs element by morethan one-half inch.Pan is smaller than element.Heavy handle tilts pan.chooSinG the ProPer cookWAreWhat your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from thesurface element to the pan bottom.• ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum todarken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slidacross the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Removethese marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramicglass (see above).• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy toclean and resists staining.• CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cookingtemperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.• ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.• GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because itmay scratch the glass.NE595R0ABSR_AC_DG68-00425A-05_EN.indd 21 2015-02-27 �� 4:36:58
