Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown
evenly in an aluminum skillet+ Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water_
Cast-Iron:
If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results..
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel
of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods,.
Glass; There are two types of glass cookware--those
for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either
surface or oven cooking it conducts heat very slowly
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if
used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends
Wok This Way
(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use
a ftat*bottomed wok They are
available at your local retail
store.
A traditional round bottom wok can be used with Wok
Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered
from your appliance dealer, The Wok Holder fits on top
of the range grate to provide support and proper air
circulation for traditional round bottom woks only Do not
use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.
Do not use a wok on any
other support ring. Placing
the ring over the burner grate
may cause the burner to work
improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above
allowable current standards This could be dangerous to
your health,. Do not try to use such woks without the ring
unless you are using the Wok Holden You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over..
Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills
on your sealed gas burners+
if you use the stove top grill
on the sealed gas burner it
will cause incomplete
combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
