Cookware tips
There is no one brand of cooking 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.
l
Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good
contact with the surface units. To check the
flatness of a utensil:
-Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan
by placing a ruler across ft.
-Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should
be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.
NOTE: Woks, canners and teakettles with flat
bottoms suitable for use on your oooktop are
now available in most houseware stores or
departments.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a tight-
fitting lid.
l
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.
l
The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
fast heat transfers from the surface unit through
the pan material and how evenly heat spreads
over the pan bottom.
l
Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached to
the pan.
l
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has
boiled dry. on a hot surface unit. ft can overheat
and may damage the utensil or surface unit.
l
Do not use canners, woks and specialty utensils
with rounded, warped, ridged or dented
bottoms. These could cause severe overheating
which damages the utensil and/or surface unit.
