USE LIDS THAT
FIT PROPERLY
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a
diameter matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up
around the sides of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flat-
bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to
maintain boiling.
COOKWARE
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. Oversized 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.
