For bestcooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving ofwarped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats LIp quickly but does not changeheat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough tocontinue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat onthe bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough tocontinue cooking after it i~ turned off.
