l
Handles
should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
l
Pans
should be easy to clean. Check to be
sure there are no crevices, rough edges or
areas where food might collect.
l
Be sure pans
do not tip, whether they are
full or empty.
l
Use cookware
only as it
was
intended to
be used. Follow pan instructions. This is
very important for glass cookware because
some should be used only in the oven.
Other pans are marked as flameware and
may be used on the surface burners.
Home canning information
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
l
For best results,
use a canner which can
be centered over the surface burner.
l
Do not place canner
on two surface
burners at the Same time. Too much heat
will build up and will damage the cook-top.
l
Start with hot water.
This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
l
Refer
to your canner manual for specific
instructions.

pans
For baking/roasting with one
