Pans
Pan size
– Set the cooktop to a high flame when
using a large diameter pan and low
flame when using small diameter
pans.
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat up quicker and cook more
evenly than narrow / tall ones.
– Using oversized pans may cause the
flames to spread out and damage
the surrounding countertop or other
countertop appliances.
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings as the flame can lick
up the sides of the pan.
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the
pan support and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are haz-
ardous and should not be used.
Suitable pans
Wok burners:
You can use a wok on the special wok
burners with out any additional rings,
trivets etc.
Any heat resistant pan can be used on
a gas burner.
Unlike pans used on an electric
cooktop, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even re-
sults, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to pre-
vent burning.
