Cookware Selection
Size of Cookware
Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame
to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Leave a minimum of 1V2"between side of pan and surrounding surfaces,
such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape and avoid
possible damage to these areas.
Cookware Materials
Stainless steel, porcelain enamelware, glass, and glass ceramic cookware designed
for surface cooking usually heat slowly and conduct heat poorly when a large flame
size is used. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size to extend only halfway between
center and edge of the cookware bottom for better cooking results. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat more evenly; therefore, a slightly larger flame size can be used. The
flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. The flame should
NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Covered Cookware
If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size
can be used.
NOTE: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed
to maintain a gentle boil is used.
