General Tips Proper Cookware ▯ Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly. ▯ Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly. ▯ Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings. ▯ Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability. ▯ DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.  ▯ 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 spread up the sides of the pan. ▯ Oversized pans that span two burners should not exceed the size of the grates and should be placed front to back, not side to side. 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. 15
