To achieve optimumcookingperformance,use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom
cookpotsthat conform to the diameter of the cookingarea. Proper cookpotswill
minimizecookingtimes, use less electricity,cookfood moreevenlyand requireless
wateror oil.
Cookpotswiththin,unevenbottomsdo not adequatelyconductheat fromthe cooking
areato the foodinthe cookpotswhichresultsin hotspots,bumedorunderdonefood.
Usingbad cookpotsalso requiresmorewater, time and energyto cookfood.
• Select heavy gauge cookpots. Usuallyheavy gaugecookpotswill notchange
shape when heated.
•Usecookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. The twowaystodetermineifcookpots
