EnergySavingTips
@Usecooking utensils of medium weight
aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and flat bot-
toms which completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
@Watchfoods when bringing them quickly
to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature,
reduce heat immediately to lowest setting
that will keep it cooking.
*Use residual heat with surface cooking
whenever possible. For example, when
cooking eggs in the shell, bring water to
—boil, then turn to OFF position to complete
the cooking.
@Cook fresh vegetables with aminimum
amount of water in acovered pan.
@Alwaysturn surface unit OFF before
removing utensil.
OUse correct heat for cooking task. . .
HIGH heatsto start cooking (if time allows,
do not use HIGH heat to start), MEDIUM
HIGH—quick brownings, MEDIUM—SIOW
frying, LOW—finish cooking most quanti-
ties, WARM—double boiler heat, finish
cooking, and special for small quantities. e
oWhen boiling water for tea or coffee,
heat only the amount needed. It is not eco-
nomical to boil acontainer full of water for e
only one or two cups.

ommended aluminum utensik were used in testing food for this chart.
Use heat setting no higher than medium or follow manufacturer’s&ctions when using
utensils made of the following materials: cast iron, glass ceramic (pyroceram), and stitiess
steel. Also, some types of enamelware which under certain conditions could melt and fuse to

mend heata no higher than MED and using awire grid between utensil and electric surface
unit. Obtain grid when utensfl is purchased, or at Housewares Section of most department

IT IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR GOOD HEAT CONDUCTION THAT UTENSILS
WITH FLAT BOTTOMS BE USED. Special cooking equipment without flat bottoms, .
such as the oriental wok, are not recommended. Life of surface unit can be shortened and
range top can be damaged due to high temperatures required in this type cooking.

Canningshouldbedoneon rangetopody. DONOTCANINOVENORIN MICROWAVE
OVEN.
In surface cookin of foods other than canning, the use of large diameter utensils (e~nding
L
more than l-inch yond edge of trim ring) is not r~mmended. Howeve~,when canning wifi
water-bath or pressure canner, larg~diameter utensils may be used. Th~ is because boiling
water tiperature (even under pressure) are not harmti bmktop surfaces surrounding
h-ting unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DWM-
ETER UTENSILS FOR BOIHNG OR FRYING ~ODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most
syrup or sauce mixtures-and all ty
rof frying-cook at temperatures much higher than bofling water. Such temperatures co deventually ham cooktop surfaces surrounding heat-
ing units.
OBSERVE FOLLOWING POINTS iN CANNING:
1. Bring water to bofion HIGH heat ,then after botiing has begun, adjust heat to lowest set-
ting to mainti boil (saves energy and best uses surfaceunit).
2. Be sure canner fib over center of surface unit. If your model range does not allow canner to
_kcentered on surface unit, use smaller diameter containers for gwd *g results.
e3. Flat-bottomed mnners give best canning resdts. Be sure bottim of mnner is flat or slight
indentation fits snugly over surface unit. Cannerswith flanged or rippled bottoms (often found
in enamelware) are not recommended.

RIGHT WRONG
4. When dng, use recipes from reputable sources. Reliable recipes are available from the
manufacturer of your anner, manufacturersof glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr;
and, the United Shtes Department of Agricdture Extension Service.
5. Remember, in followingthe recipes,*g is aprocessthat generates large amounh of
steam. Be careful w~e canning to prevent burns fromsteam or h-t.
NOTE: If your range is being operated on low power (voltage), canning may take longer than
expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process may be irn~roved
by: 1) Using apressure canner, and 2) For faster heating oflarge water quantities, begin with
HOT tap water.
@Useminimum amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Ffiling the pan too
