ookware Recommendations
COOKWARE
MATERIAL
USES
Aluminum Heats and cools quickly. Use for frying, braising,
and roasting.
Stainless Steel Heats and cools at moderate rate. Use for soups,
sauces, vegetables, general cooking.
Copper Clad /
Tin Lined
Heats and cools quickly. Use for gourmet cooking,
wine sauces, egg dishes.
Cast Iron Heats and cools slowly. Use for low heat cooking,
frying.
Enamelware Heating speed depends on base metal in the
cookware. Use for low heat cooking.
Ceramic (Glass) Heats and cools slowly. Use for low heat cooking.
Flat Pan Test
For best cooking results, use a pan
wit a flat bottom. To determine if
pan as 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 can be seen.
2. A small groove or mark on a
pan does not affect cooking
times. However, if a pan as
a gap, formed rings, or an
uneven bottom, it does not
cook efficiently and in some
cases may not boil liquids.
Can I can?
Canning is not recommended with
any of the Amana gas ranges or
cooktops due to the intense heat and
large cookware required to can.
The high, sustained heat generated by
the canning cookware overheats both
the burners and the surface of the range
or cooktop. This may cause damage to
burners, knobs, or finish, and may even
cause overheating of surrounding walls.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, is not covered under
warranty.
What Should ou Consider in Cookware?
More than 1 inch
overhang
Does not cover burner
SELECT AVOID
Flat bottomed cookware. Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms.
Heavy gauge metal cookware. Light gauge metal cookware.
Handles that are secure, that are not
heavy enough to tilt pan.
Cookware with loose or broken handles or
heavy handles that tip pan when empty.
Proper pan size. Cookware that is smaller than or greater than
burner grate by 1 inch.
Flat bottomed wok Wok with a ringstand on bottom.

Baking Guidelines
W en baking wit a new oven, keep in mind temperatures vary from oven to oven. Store-boug t t ermometers are
generally not accurate and s ould not be used to calibrate oven temperatures.
Hints for Cookies,
S iny, flat cookie s eets s ould
be used. Avoid cookie pans wit
ig sidest is will cause
uneven browning on t e top.
Cookie s eet s ould not touc
t e sides of t e oven or door.
For best results, use only one
cooky s eet at a time.

Follow recipes directions for
pan size. S iny pans work best
for cakes.
Cake baked in too large a pan
will be t in and dry. Too small a
pan will be undercooked or
unevenly cooked and may spill.
Pies
Pies s ould be baked in dark or
dull pans to increase browning.
Frozen pies s ould be eated
on an aluminum cookie s eet.
BAKEWARE GUIDELINES
Dark or dull pans Absorb more heat
