with minimum amounts of water.
Cast Iron:
If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware:
Under some conditions, the enamel
of some
cookworc
may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations
for
cooking methods.
Glass:
There are two types of glass
cookware-
those for oven use only

those for top-of-range
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass

manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used
on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel:
This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined with
copper, aluminum or other metals for improved

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat
When

food
for
the first time in your new oven,
use time given on recipes
as
a guide. Oven thermostats,
over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory
setting,
und
differences in timing between an old and a
new oven of 5 to I O minutes are not unusual. Your
new oven
has been set correctly at the factory and is
more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to
check the temperature setting of your new oven. These
thermometers can vary by
2040
degrees.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,
you can adjust it yourself.
