FOR SAFE HANDLING OF
COOKWARENEVER LET THE
FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.
Any flame larger than the bottom
of ~hecookwa~eis wasted and only
serves to heat the handle.
Ivhen using aiuminum o$-
aluminum.-clad stainless steel
pots and pans, adjust the flame
so the circle it makes is about 1/2
inch smaller than the bottom of
the cookware.
WheX~boiling, use this same
flame size—1/2 inch smaller than
the bottom of the cookware—no
matter what the cookware is made
of. Foods cookjust as quickly at
a gentle boil tisthey do at a
furious, rolling boil. A high boil
creates steam and cooks away
n~oisture,flavor and nutrition.

Alumi]Ium: Medium-weight
cookware is recommendedbecause
it heats quicklyand evenly.Most
foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet.Mineralsin food
and water will stain but will not
harm aluminum.A quick scour
with a soap-filledsteel wool pad
after eacl~use keeps aluminum
cookware looking shiny and new.
Use saucepans with tight-fitting
lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly,
most skilletswill give satisfactory
results.
Enamelware: Under some
conditions, the enamel of some
cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooking
methods.
Glass: There are two types of
glass cookware-those for oven
use only and those for top-of-range
cooking (saucepans, coffee and
teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass
Ceramic: Can
be used for either surface or oven
cooking. It conducts heat very
slowly and cools very slowly.
Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used
on gas ranges.
StainlessSteel:This metal alone
has poor heating properties and is
usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually
work satisfactorily if they are used
with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
