Choosing Suitable Cookware Cookware Recommendations Pan Bottom Diameter ▯ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. ▯ Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. ▯ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to back, not side to side. ▯ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend over the sides of the grates. Use Balanced Pans ▯ Balance is important for stability and even cooking. ▯ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking or wobbling. ▯ Center pan over burner. Proper Fitting Lid ▯ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. ▯ For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling water. Specialty Cookware Pans that span 2 burners, (i.e. griddles, roasters, fish poachers, etc.) may be used when placed front to back. For all models, use the Thermador accessory griddle (Model SGRIDDLEW) on the center burner only. See Parts and Accessories section for further information. Use a wok with a flat bottom. Round bottom woks (with a maximum 16 inch diameter) can be used with the Thermador accessory support wok ring (Model SWOKRINGW). See Parts and Accessories section for further information. Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners or cookers) Cooking Recommendations for Your Cooktop Beverages Beverages should be heated to a boil on High heat, and then simmered on a lower setting. If the beverage is held on Low (or ExtraLow) to keep warm, stir approximately every 10 minutes to prevent sticking or burning. You can find the ideal settings for several beverages in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a lower setting if the pan is covered. Breads Breads (i.e. French toast and grilled sandwiches) are best cooked using a preheated skillet or griddle on Medium heat. Once the pan is preheated, begin cooking breads according to ideal settings in the Standard Burner Cooking Table. From batch to batch, the heat setting may need to be adjusted for optimal browning. Deep Frying Deep Frying is recommended on the large burner on Medium High heat. The heat setting may need to be adjusted to maintain oil temperature. You can find the ideal settings for several deep fried foods in the Standard Burner Cooking Table. Sauces, Soups and Stocks Sauces, Soups, and Stocks should be heated to a boil on High heat and then simmered on a lower setting. When heating cream sauces on your cooktop, use a lower setting than tomato sauces to prevent scorching. If sauce, soup or stock is held on Low (or ExtraLow) to keep warm, stir approximately every 10 minutes to prevent sticking or burning. You can find the ideal settings for several sauces, soups and stocks in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a lower setting if the pan is covered. 15
