MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE
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 lick up the sides of the pan.
Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
Use Balanced Pans
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center the pan over the
burner.
Use a Lid That Fits Properly
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide
even heat and stability.
FLAME TOO LARGE
FOR PAN SIZE
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).
