Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the 
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow 
the recommendations for using proper cookware as illus-
trated in 
 and 
.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact 
with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness 
by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See 
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly 
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan 
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food 
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware 
resists staining and pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See 
Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking 
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat 
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is 
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will 
vary depending on base material. 
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
