8 Easy ways to save energy • Match the pan to the surface cooking area size. • The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid. • To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible. • Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
9 1" 1" Home canning information To protect your range: • Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results . • Use the largest surface cooking area for best results. Also, use a canner/pan that you can center over the surface cooking area and that does not extend more than one inch outside the surface cooking area.
