Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics. – Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results. Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware. Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used. Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.
