Operating Your Cooktop Cooking Tips • Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in utensils made of materials that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic and cast iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the utensil diameter to ensure even heating and reduce scorching. • Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times. • Use a timer rather than repeatedly removing the lid to check food. Doing so will decrease cooking time and save energy.
