Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you
select the correct cookware for your needs.
l
NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cook-
ware in good condition.
l
The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l
Choose medlum to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
l
The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
8
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.

Be sure all control knobs are turned
