COOKWARE SELECTION
For best results, we recommend medium- to
heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal
h
andle and a good-fitting cover.
L
ook for pans that are made of materials with
good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and
copper. These metals are sometimes found
sandwiched” between the inner and outer
layers of the pan. If present, whether visible
from the outside or not, they aid in evenly
conducting heat.
Use the following guidelines when selecting
cookware for the range surface:
Griddles or open roasters that span two
burners are suitable, providing they are not
warped.
When a large pan is centered over a burner,
the diameter should not exceed 10" (254).
When using pans made of cast iron,
enameled steel or glass ceramic, or coated
with a nonstick finish, select lower flame
settings. High heat applied to such materi-
als will cause ”hot spots,” scorching and
burning.
Cover pans while cooking; covers improve
cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using
less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.
Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than
ones with very wide bases and low sides.
High sides will minimize liquids boiling
over the pan.
Pans with oversize bases that extend
beyond the range frame
should not
be
used. On HIGH settings, heat may be
trapped beneath the pan causing perma
-
nent damage to the surface finish.
Use the front burners for larger pans. The
pans are easier to handle, especially when
hot.
Use a wok with a flat bottom.
BAKEWARE SELECTION
Use the following guidelines when selecting
bakeware for the oven(s):
A 14" x 16" (356 x 406) baking sheet is an
o
ptimum size for the 30" (762) and 36" (914)
ovens. Optimum size for the 18" (457) oven
is 9" x 13" (229 x 330). Allow at least 1" (25)
b
etween edge of pan and walls of oven.
Size, shape and finish of bakeware affects
the baking time. Food on insulated
bakeware cooks more slowly. Food cooked
in dark metal pans may cook faster than
food cooked in shiny pans.
Dark, nonstick pan coatings brown more
than light, nonstick coatings.
