Solid disc elements put

cooking on back burner

IT’S FIVE p.m., family members are headed in five different directions and it looks as if plans for a nor- mal dinner may get pushed to the back burner again.

But if the family range or cooktop has solid disc elements, the back burner may be just the place for cooking dinner and organizing a busy evening at the same time.

Using range tops with solid disc elements, busy cooks can take advantage of the kitchen appliance in- dustry’s hot new trend: solid thermal and temperature sensing elements. Thermal elements, marked by a centered red lpcquer dot, provide power that cycles on and off to maintain a specific wattage.

While similar to conventional coil elements in many ways, they also provide additional thermal protection for both the cooking surface and utensil should it boil dry by automatically switching to a lower heat setting.

The thermal protection also reduces the heat setting if the element is operated without a utensil in place or if an improper utensil is used. Consequently, the thermal elements are ideal for cooking he heat-sensitive foods, or for melting butter or heating milk

Equally important to the convenience-conscious cook are the temperature sensing elements, which regulate the temperature of pots and pans. Ideal for simmering and frying, the elements free busy cooks from returning to the range to adjust temperature set-

tings.

When used properly with heavy gauge, flat-bottom cookware, the solid disc elements provide even heat, speed of cooking and automation. According to Doug Ringger, manager of product testing for a major ap- Piiance manufacturer, the electric solid disc elements equal conventional units in required cooking time.

“*Coil elements have treditionally been more popu- lar because they s:rovide faster heat,”’ he said. ‘‘But now solid disc elements provide an alternative ap- proach to surface cooking because they have been improved to heat just as fast as conventional coil or

gas units.””

And making them even more attractive to cooks with pressing time demands is their ease of cleaning Sealed into the range top and slightly elevated, the solid elements channel spills away from the hot ele- ment, making wiping up Spills simple and speedy, and eliminating time-consuming cleaning of conventional drip bowls.

Solid disc elements also provide flexibility for to- day’s style-conscious homeowners who are buying or replacing kitchen appliances. Available for built-in cooktops and freestanding ranges, the elements also come as a module unit for downdraft grill ranges and are incorporated easily into sleek, contemporary kitchen decor.
