How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.

FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE, NEVER

The flame size on a gas burner should match the

THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom

of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat

the handle.

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:

If 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.
