Wok Cooking
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available
at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring
over the surface unit will cause
a build-up of heat that will
damage the porcelain cooktop.
Do not try to use such woks
without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok
tipped over.
SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS
(Glass Cooktop models only)
Types of Cookware
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be
removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Porcelain/enamel:
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and
fuse to the surface.
Copper Bottom: heavy weight recommended
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.
An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop.
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Stoneware: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
Cast Iron: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Usable, but not recommended.
