USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended 
cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.
 
Check for fl atness by 
rotating a ruler across the 
bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight fi tting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt 
pan.
Pan is well balanced.
Pan size matches the amount 
of food to be prepared 
and the size of the surface 
element.
Made of a material that 
conducts heat well.
Always match pot diameter to 
element surface diameter.
Curved and warped pan 
bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more 
than one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
CHOOSING THE PROPER COOKWARE
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the 
surface element to the pan bottom.
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to 
darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid 
across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove 
these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic 
glass (see above).
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to 
clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking 
temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-
enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it 
may scratch the glass.
