Using the cooktop burners Cookware Requirements • Flat bottom and straight sides • Tight-fitting lid • Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan. Material characteristics • Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting. • Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. • Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining. • Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well. • Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material. • Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for cooktop cooking or oven use. • Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop. Size limitations 10 inches or more 10 inches or more CAUTION • Do not place a pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 10 inches or more on the RF or LF burner. • Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can occur if pots or pans are bumped accidently. • If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking. • Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. They can melt or ignite. Heating a sealed plastic container can cause a building up of dangerous pressure which can cause the container to explode. • Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.
