Many Adelaide households are switching from traditional gas to glass stovetops. The sleek, modern design makes glass stovetops more attractive. The smooth surface of glass stovetops is also much easier to clean.
In general, most cookware is compatible with glass stove tops. Still, you need to carefully choose the pots and pans you use on your Adelaide glass stove tops. Some types of cookware can scratch or damage the smooth, shiny glass surface of these stovetops.
The right cookware can help keep your Adelaide glass stovetops as shiny as new over the years. Here are some tips on how to choose the best cookware for glass stove tops:
Smooth, Even Surface
Before buying new cookware for your Adelaide glass stovetops, make sure it has a smooth, flat base. Cookware with uneven or textured surfaces can hinder proper heat distribution, creating cold spots. Rough, uneven cookware surfaces can also scratch the glass surface of your Adelaide stovetops. That is why it is not advisable to use raw cast-iron cookware on glass stove tops.
If you decide to use cookware with a rough base on glass stovetops, you should be extremely careful. Never slide such cookware across the surface of your Adelaide stove tops. Instead, lift the pot off, move it, and then gently place it back on your Adelaide stovetop.
Avoid Heavy Weight
The glass surface of electric stovetops is not highly fragile. Still, using excessively heavy cookware can damage the glass of your Adelaide stovetops. This is another reason not to use heavy cast-iron cookware on glass stove tops. Instead, choose lightweight cookware, such as stainless steel pots. Their weight will not put high pressure on the delicate glass surface of your Adelaide stovetops.
Compatible Materials
Not all cookware materials are compatible with your Adelaide glass stovetops. Copper and aluminium cookware, for example, can damage the surface of glass stovetops. These pots and pans are lightweight. However, they undergo chemical reactions that can negatively affect the glass surface of stove tops.
Copper and aluminium pots can leave behind stubborn residues on your Adelaide glass stovetops. These marks are difficult to remove. More importantly, they will eat away at the glass surface of your Adelaide electric stovetops.
