Cooktop Cooking Guide
Boiling Water Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the following tips to decrease boil time: · · · · · · Recommended Settings Use a lid. Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of the burner. Select a pan with a flat base (See "Cookware Selection Guide" on page 30 for details). Smaller volumes will boil faster than larger volumes.
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed because the actual setting depends on: · · · · type and quality of pan (See "Selecting Cookware"), type, quantity and temperature of the food, burner used and the cook's preference.

Cookware Selection Guide
Cookware Characteristics Pan selection directly affects cooking speed and uniformity. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be flush against each other.
To Test the Flatness of Your Pans
English 30
Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Another simple test to determine even heat distribution across the cookware bottom is to place 1" (25. 4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area. Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan. Place oversized pans that span two burners front to rear, not side to side. Tight Fitting Lids A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside the pot. Cookware Tips · · · Specialty Pans Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or dented bottoms should be avoided. Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above. Use only a flat-bottomed wok.
