Pan size
–
Set the cooktop to a high flame when
using a large diameter pan and low
flame when using small diameter
pans.
–
Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat quicker and cook more evenly
than narrow / tall ones.
– Using oversized pans may cause the
flames to spread out and damage
the surrounding countertop or other
countertop appliances. The proper
pan size will also improve efficiency.
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings, the flames may climb
the sides of the pan.
–
Pots with a smaller diameter than the
pan support and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are
hazardous and should not be used.
Suitable pans
Unlike pans used on an electric
cooktop, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even
results, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.
Wok burners
You can use a wok on these burners
without any additional rings, trivets, etc.
If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra
stability, attach it as shown (depending
on your grates).
