Cookware
There is no one brand of utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something
about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking
utensils for your needs.
1.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units.
To check the flatness of a utensil:
l Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.
l Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan
and the ruler.
2. The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.
3. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.
