USING THE PROPER 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.
Cast-Iron
If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results. 
Stainless Steel 
This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with 
copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets work satisfactorily if they are used with medium 
heat as the manufacturer recommends. 
Enamelware 
Under some conditions, the enamel of this cookware may melt. Follow 
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass 
There are two types of glass cookware. Those for oven use only and those for 
top-of-range cooking.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic 
Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly 
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it 
can be used on gas ranges.
