Any flame larger than the bottomof the cookware is wasted heat and only serves toheat the handle.CookwareAluminum: Medium-weight cookware isrecommended because it heats quickly and evenly.Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids for cooking withminimum amounts of water.Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will givesatisfactory results.Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel ofsome cookware may melt.
