Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-
medium settings.
Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat 
unevenly.
Proper Cookware Practices
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish poachers, may be used 
when placed front to back. Adjust flame equally to cook evenly. Use the Therma-
dor® accessory griddle Model SGRIDDLE. 
Use a Wok with a flat bottom. If using a round bottomed wok, use the Thermador 
accessory support wok ring, Model AWOKRING. 
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described 
above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to main-
tain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/cookers).
Table 1: Proper Cookware Practices
Practice
i)
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.
j)
Use Balanced Pans
Pans must sit level on the 
cooktop grate without rocking.
Center pan over burner.
k) Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps shorten 
the cooking time.
