Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Host foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Usesaucepanswith tight-
fitting lidswhen cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will givesatisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may melt.
Follow cookware manufacturer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware-those for oven use only and
those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans,
coffeeand teapots).Glassconducts heat
very slowly.
HeatproofGlass-Ceramic: Canbe usedfor
either surfaceor oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer's directions to be
sureit can be usedon gas ranges.
Stainless Steel: Thismetal alone has poor
heating properties and isusually combined
with copper,aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skilletsusually work satisfactorily if
they are usedwith medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.

smaller riot-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok
bottom sits flat on the grote. They ore
