Best pots & pans for ceramic glass cooktop stove
Hi everyone,
I just bought a brand new ceramic glass cooktop stove. I've never had one. I am a little unsure what type of pans I should use with it. I mostly use my old Revere ware copper bottom kettles and use teflon frying pans. I'm not a great cook by any means, so, I don't really want high end products...are there certain types of pots and pans that are recommended with this type of cook top? Thanks in advance for any advice! |

So, it's not the type of cookware so much. I find All Clad to work well, but that's rather pricey. If you buiy some cookeare, try it out - empty. If it rocks back and forth, return it. -- Peter Aitken Visit my recipe and kitchen myths page at www.pgacon.com/cooking.htm |

Thanks in advance for any > advice! Cindy, my new glasstop was delivered yesterday. It's a GE. It has a section in the manual that carries recommendations and warnings about different types of cookware to use. With pictures. Have you checked your manual for similar? If not, give it a looksee. -- -Barb <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 3-21-2006 Hot Stuff! "If it's not worth doing to excess, it's not worth doing at all." |

Mine is an aluminum clad stainless that for some reason has a little glob of aluminum in the middle of the bottom. I'm not sure how or why it got there, it just wasn't noticable until we got the smooth-top range. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. |

Best pots & pans for ceramic glass cooktop stove
Thanks everyone for the responses. I don't have an owners manual,
because this stove was returned to the store by a woman who had had it for a month and decided that she wanted stainless steel instead of bisque. The previous owner has the owners manual, and I am hoping to get it soon. Just in case she doesn't return it, I have an owners manual on order from Sears. I'm disappointed that Sears doesn't have any downloadable PDF product manuals. There are a lot of bells & whistles on the stove that I haven't yet figured out! So far, so good...it seems to be working nicely I just love it so far! Cindy |

Are you going to have to pay for the manual? Was that part of the condition of the sale - that there was no manual with it? Unless it was, I think I'd try to press Sears to give you the manual for free unless the cost was less than about $3. Here's the Use and Care Manual for my new GE smooth top: http://tinyurl.com/18r Cookware recommendations are on pages 8 & 9. -- -Barb <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 3-21-2006 Hot Stuff!
