Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and
a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-
heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, an
aluminum or copper base can leave permanent marks on the
cooktop surface.
Cookware material affects cooking results because it is a
factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred. A nonstick
finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For
example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take
on the properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under
the broiler.
Check for 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.
