COOKWARE USAGE
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food
more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:
•
Flat bottom and straight sides.

Tight-fitting lid.
•
Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
•
Pan is well-balanced.
•
Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface
burner.

•
Always match pot diameter to the surface burner flame diameter.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface burner to the pan bottom.
