COOKWARE
GENERAL
The choice of pan directly affects the cooking performance (speed and uniformity).
For best results, select pans with the following features.
Flat base
When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom)should rest evenly on the surface without
wobbling (rocking). Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well
fitting lid and the material should be of medium to heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
Match Pan Diameter to radiant element
The base of the pan should cover or match the diameter of the element being used.
