For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.

1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,

gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler occur.

2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not effect

cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.

Flat Pan Bottom

• Use proper pan size. Do not use a pan that has a

bottom smaller than element. Do not use utensils that
overhang element by more than 1 inch.

More than
1 inch overhang

Correct Size

Utensil Size

• Use care when using glazed cooking utensils. Some

glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils break due
to sudden temperature changes. Do not use glazed
utensils on smoothtop ranges.

• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.

Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.

• Do not use a wok with a ring stand. Use flat bottom

wok.
