Select Avoid Flat, smooth-bottom pans. Pans with grooved or warped bottoms. Pans with uneven bottoms do not cook efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid. Heavy-gauge pans. Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans. Pans that are the same size as the element. Pans smaller or larger than the element by 1 inch. Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles. Heavy handles that tilt the pan. Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids. Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom. Canning and Oversize Cookware All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged. Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces. When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner. Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.
