Cookware Recommendations
The cookware affects the setting performance. Its size,
type, material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the
consistency of the cooking temperature.
To maintain a low or simmer heat setting, bring food to a
boil. Stir well then cover the pan and lower the heat to the
desired setting. Check periodically to determine if the
control knob should be turned to another setting.
If an over-sized pan is used, the simmer action may occur
mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the
temperature throughout the food, stir the food around the
outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.
It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering. This
is especially important when simmering for several hours.
When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small steps. If
the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food
back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.
Use cookware that has good heat conductivity, good
balance, a flat and correctly-sized base to fit the burner,
and a properly fitting lid. A 5½'' base size is generally the
smallest pan recommended.
A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make it
possible to use a low heat setting.
When using two extra large stock pots at one time, do not
use adjacent burners; use staggered burners to provide
adequate air around the burners.

grease or oil fire then turn off the heat and
leave the lid in place until the pan cools.
Never carry the pan outside.
Extinguish other food fires with baking soda.
Never use water or flour on cooking fires.
