The correct mokware reduces the temperature of the
cooktop
surface and minimizes the chance of
spfllovers
burning onto the
cooktop.
You must use pans with
petiectly
flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or
may be
warped If you are unsure of the flatness of
your pans you may do this quick test.
Turn your pan upside
down on the
muntertop,
place a ruler flat against
the pan surface. The
bottom of the pan and the
straight edge of the
tier
should fit flush against each other all the way across.
Turn the
tier
a full 360 degrees, checking for any
spare between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.

We
recommend that you use

a flat-bottomed wok. They

store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter
as the

proper contact.
Do not use woks that have
support rings. This type of wok
will not heat on solid disk
surface units.

pots should not extend
more than 1 inch beyond the
surface of a solid disk surface
unit and should have flat
bottoms. When canning pots do
not meet this description, the use
of the HI heat setting causes
excessive heat
butidup
and may
result in damage to the
woktop.
See the Home Canning Tips
section for further information.
Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc.

size.
