Before Using the Cooktop 7 COOKWAREMATERIALTYPESFORRADIANT ELEMENTSONLY The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are: ALUMINUM- Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately. COPPER- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above). STAINLESS STEEL- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. CAST IRON- A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops. PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL- 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 it may scratch the glass.
