Note." When boiling food, the highest
temperature
that can be reached
is the boiling
point.
When the liquid starts to boil, decrease
the size of the flame until you reach the minimum
flame
that will hold
the boil. This
will save
gas. It will also
lessen
the possibility
of
burning
food or boiling food over, and help to keep your kitchen
cooler.

with
flat bottoms

place the utensil
on the burner

properly
with the grate and
will affect

utensils
(diameters
exceeding
8 1/2") can cause
