Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food
more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lid.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
•
Pan is well-balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface
burner.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
• The pot/pan diameter matches the surface burner flame diameter.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface burner to the pan bottom.
ALuMiNuM: Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to
darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.)
copper: Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.
StAiNLeSS SteeL: Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy
to clean, and resists staining.
cASt-iroN: A poor conductor, but retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached.
eNAMeLWAre: Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
GLASS: Slow heat conductor. Glass cookware is designed for two usages—top-of-
range cooking or oven use. Only use cookware where it is designated to be used.
Do not place a small pan or pot with a bottom
diameter of about 6 inches or less on the center
grate. It is likely that the pan or pot will tip over. We
strongly recommend you place small-sized pots or
pans on the rear of either side grate.

Samsung gas ranges come with a center burner grate. This grate fits over
the center oval burner. The center burner grate should not be placed over
any other burners and no other center stovetop grates should be used
with this range.
