For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom. (Figure 17)
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.

Cooking Utensils
• 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. (Figure 15)

• Use care when using glazed cooking utensils. Some
glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils break due
to sudden temperature changes. Do not use glazed
untensils 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. (Figure 16)
