These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop. Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Setting Surface Controls Setting surface burners Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard size burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
