8 - Cookware
IMPORTANT: Never leave empty cookware on a hot
surface cooking area, element or surface
burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
a well fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-
heavy thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper may be used as a core or base in
cookware. However, when used as a base it can leave
permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly
heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick
finish has the same characteristics as its base material.
For example, aluminium cookware with a non-stick finish
will take on the properties of aluminium.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
Cookware Characteristics
Aluminum:
Heats quickly and evenly. Suitable for all types of cooking.
Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast Iron:
Heats slowly and evenly. Good for browning and frying.
Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or Ceramic glass:
Followmanufacturer’sinstructions.
Heats slowly, but unevenly. Ideal results on low to medium
heat settings.
Copper:
Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware:
Followmanufacturer’sinstructions.
Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain enamel on steel or cast Iron:
See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel:
Heats quickly, but unevenly. A core or base of aluminium or
copper on stainless steel provides even heating.
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan
or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as
the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Oversize pans
that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to
side.
Use Balanced Pans
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking.
Center pan over burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy
bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
WARNING
