Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktops
The following information will help you choose cookware
which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations
when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum
Heavy weight recommended.
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear
as scratches on the cooktop but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not be used.
Copper Bottom
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches.
The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An
overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron
Recommended if bottom of pan is coated.
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel
Heating empty pans can cause permanent damage to cooktop
glass. The enamel can melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron
Not recommended—unless designed specifically for glass
cooktops.
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will scratch the
cooktop surface.
More about Cookware
• Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place
lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. Wet
pans and lids may stick to smooth surface when cool.
• Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok
will not heat on the cooktop.

• We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface
element to ensure proper contact.
• Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers or deep-fat fryers. All
cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge. You should not be
able to pass a US nickel coin under the
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These
are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and
the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath
canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required
to bring the water to a boil.
