Recommendations
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such
as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less
energy, and cook food more evenly.

The Ruter Test:

3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and select
High on the Temperature Selector Bar.

Cookware
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and
must be made from heavy-gauge
materials. This is critical
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than
1 inch larger than the dement.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the
water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or
pressure, if the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.
