RIGHT

WRONG

Surface Cooking

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Some utensils were not made to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.

*GOOD

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.

Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food

to be prepared and the size of burner.

• Made of material that conducts heat

well.

• Easy to clean.

POOR

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than

2.5 cm (1”).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond unit.

Pans should have flat bottoms.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom. There should be

no gaps between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as lobster

pots, griddles and pressure cookers

may be used but must conform to

the above recommended cookware

requirements.

SURFACE COOKING UTENSILS

FLAME SIZE

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types

of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If

the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will

brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much

food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size Type of Cooking

High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

pan broiling

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,

gravies; steam

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.

A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases

your risk of being burned by the flame.
