8 HOW DOES THIS COOKT OP COMP ARE WITH YOUR OLD ONE? Y our new cooktop has electric coil surface units. If you are used to cooking on gas burners or other types of electric cooktops you will notice some differences when you use electric coils.
9 SURF ACE CONTROLS Y our surface units and controls are designed to give you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface unit cooking. At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. When cooking in a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight “clicking” sounds–an indication that the heat settings you selected are being maintained.
10 COOKW ARE TIPS Cookware Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

Pr eheating Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary . For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.
BAKING (continued) 14 Baking Pans Pan Placement Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur . • Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner , crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
Baking Adjust the Oven Thermostat ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOST A T— DO IT YOURSELF! Y ou may find that your new oven cooks differ ently than the one it replaced.

16 ROASTING Roasting is cooking by dry heat. T ender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady , keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven control is set for Baking.

BROILING Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
19 BROILING GUIDE • Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. • Leave the oven door open to the broil stop position for all foods.
