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.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with copper, aluminum or
other metals for improved heat distribu-
tion. Combination metal skillets usually
work satisfactorily if they are used with
medium heat or as the manufacturer
recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most
skillets will give satisfactory results.
Stove top drills
Do not use an aftermarket stove top
grill on your gas surface burners. A
stove top grill will cause incomplete
combustion resulting in carbon monoxi-
de levels above allowable standards.
This could be hazardous to your health.
Using a wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a
diameter of a 14 inches or less. Make
sure the wok bottom sits flat on the
grate.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placing
the ring over the burner or grate may
cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels
above allowable standards.
This could be hazardous to your health.
