Material characteristics
• Aluminum
: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to
darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.
• Copper
: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel
: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is durable,
easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron
: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware
: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass
: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for top-of-range
cooking or oven use.
Size limitations
CAUTION
•
Do not place a small pan or pot with a
bottom diameter of about 6 inches or
less on the center grate. This cookware
may tip over. Use the rear burners for
this small-sized cookware.
