Your range may be equipped with different sized surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the burner size increases.
The SIMMER burner (some models) is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. The standard burners can be used for
most surface cooking needs. The larger POWER burners (some models) are best used for bringing large quantities of
liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
The CENTER burner is best suited when using rectangular or long shaped cookware.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a
burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
