fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.

very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface
or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.
Removing your Cookware from the Cooktop
When removing hot cookware from the burner, be sure
to lift it high enough to not come in contact with your
control knobs. Hot cookware coming into contact with the
control knobs could cause damage, such as melting or
warping.
