Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well. ­ Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time. 17 Selecting cookware Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines.
