Cookware Characteristics

The choice of pans directly affects the cooking speed
and uniformity. For best results select pans with the
following features:
Flat Bases - When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom)
should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling
(rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy-weight pans are best.
To Test the Flatness of Your Pans
Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a
ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of
the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be
flush against each other.
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution
across the cookware bottom is to place 1" of water in
the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the
location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good,
flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles
over the bottom surface area.
Matching Diameters – The base of the pan should
cover or match the diameter of the element being used.
Pans may overhang the element area by 1" all around.
Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking time and
water boils faster by holding the heat inside the pan.

Cookware Tips

• Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or
convex) warped or dented bottoms should be avoided.
See drawings below.
• Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is
clean and dry.
• Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
• Do not slide metal pots across the cooktop. Pans may
leave marks which need to be removed immediately.
See Care and Cleaning Section.
• Do not use glass pans as they may scratch the
surface.

Specialty Pans

Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure
cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure
canners must have the same features as described
above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok. Never place a
support ring, such as a wok ring or trivet, on the cooking
surface.
