IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 

cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a 

well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 

thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum 

and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. 

However, when used as a base, they can leave permanent  

marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat 

is transferred which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish 

has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, 

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the 

properties of aluminum.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under  

the broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 

characteristics.

■

■

A core or base of aluminum or  

copper on stainless steel provides 

even heating.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface 

burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently 

used areas to cool.

 

■

Center the canner on the grate.

 

■

Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

department. Companies that manufacture home canning 

products can also offer assistance.
