Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element, or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a at bottom, straight sides, and

a well-tting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-

heavy thickness.

Rough nishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum

andcopper may be used as a core or base in cookware.

However, an aluminum or copper base can leave permanent

marks on the grates.

Cookware material aects cooking results because it is a

factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under

thebroiler.

Check for atness by placing the straight edge of a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the

ruler,no space or light should be visible between it and

thecookware.

Use the following table as a guide for cookware material

characteristics.

Cookware Characteristics

Aluminum ■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best

formost cooking tasks.

■ May leave aluminum residues 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.

Cookware Characteristics

Copper ■ Heats very quickly andevenly.

■ May leave copper residues which

may bediminished if cleaned

immediately after cooking.

■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond

to the cooktop if overheated.

Earthenware ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Use on low heat settings.

■ May scratch the cooktop.

Porcelain

enamel-on-steel

or cast iron

■ See stainless steel orcastiron.

■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without a

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 eciency. The cookware should be about the same

sizeas thecooking area outlined on the cooktop or the coil

element. Cookware should not extend more than

" (1.3 cm)

beyond thesurface cooking area or element.

The cookware should be centered above the burner with the

bottom sitting level on the grate. The ame should be adjusted

so that it does not extend up the sides of the cookware.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface

burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently

used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.

■ Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same

time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

extension oce or refer to published home canning guides.

Companies that manufacture home canning products can

also oer assistance.
