Cooking Utensils

• Use proper pan size. Do not use utensils that
overhang grate by more than 1 inch.
• Use care when using glazed cooking utensils.
Some glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
break due to sudden temperature changes.
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
• Select utensils with flat bottoms.
• Do not use a wok with a ring stand.

Testing Pan for Flatness

For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler
occur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not effect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil water.
