The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Use a pan that matches the diameter of the surface element you are using. Cooking performance will not be as
good if the cookware itself is smaller or larger than the surface unit.
Checkpansfor flat bottomsby using
a straight edge.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Glass-Ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the
surface.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However,do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass cooktops. An overheated copper
bottom pot will leave a residuethat will
permanently stain the cooktop if not
removed immediately.
Panswith rounded,curved,ridgedor
warped bottomsare not recommended.
Porcelain Enamel Covered
Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended
for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, since it may
scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.
Do not place wet pans
on theglass Cooktop.
For Best Results
Place
only
dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the
surface elements, particularly wet lids.
