COOKTOP OPERATION
Section Four: Using the Cooktop
Adjust control knob to lower set-
tings in small steps.
If control is set too low to main-
tain simmer, bring the food back
to a boil before setting a higher
simmer setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The type and quantity of the food
will affect which setting to use.
Thesize, typeandmateria] ofyour
pan will affect which setting to
use.
When a large pan is used on a
small burner, it may cause the
simmer action to occur mainly in
the center of the pan. When the
food is stirred, the cooler food
near the edges of the pan may
result in an overall temperature
too cool to simmer. If this hap-
pens, turn the burner up slightly.
It is normal to stir food occasion-
ally. This is especially important
when simmering for several
hours. For example: a homemade
spaghetti sauce or beans.
It is normal not to see simmer
bubbles immediately after the
food has been stirred.
While the flame is ON there may
be bubbling; there should be at
least steam and a slight quivering
of the liquid's surface.
Simmer bubbles may not be seen
when the flame has cycled OFF.
