Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover bumer grates. To avoid spiflovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

hea vy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cooL
