■■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. ■■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. ■■ Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used. ■■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated. ■■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
