Choosing Suitable Cookware
Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
▯ 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.
▯ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to
  back, not side to side.
▯ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend
  over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
▯ Balance is important for stability and even cooking.

▯ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking
  or wobbling.
▯ Center pan over burner.

Proper Fitting Lid
▯ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.

▯ For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling
  water.
