Cooking Utensils
• Use proper pan size. Do not use a pan that has a
bottom smaller than element. Do not use utensils
that overhang element by more than 1 inch.
Less than 1" overhang
More than 1" overhang
• Use care when using glazed cooking utensils.
Some glass, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
break due to sudden temperature changes.
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
• Select utensils with flat bottoms.
• Do not use a wok with a ring stand.
Utensils for Smoothtop
Before cooking on smoothtop, treat top with cleaner
conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes
marks and stains easier to remove.
For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler occur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not effect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
