Appliances Built-h Gas Cooktop Use and Care Guide

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: [f heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
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 cooktops.
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 generally
work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those
for oven use only and those for surface cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
