PREVENTING BURNS FROM HOT KNOBS
Ensure the cookware does not exceed the size
of the grates. Cookware that is larger than the
grates may cause the flames to get too close
to the knobs creating a burn hazard when
touched.
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 spread up the sides of the pan.
Oversized pans that span two burners should not
▯
exceed the size of the grates and should be
placed front to back, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
Balance is important for stability and even
▯
cooking.
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
▯
rocking or wobbling.
Center pan over burner.
▯
Proper Fitting Lid
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
▯
For best cooking results, always use a lid when
▯
boiling water.
Specialty cookware
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and
▯
fish poachers, may be used when placed front to back
and should not exceed the size of the grates. Adjust
flame equally to cook evenly.
Use a Wok with a flat bottom.
▯
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same
▯
requirements as described above. After bringing
contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to
maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners/
cookers).
