Cookware Recommendations  
What Should You Consider in Cookware?  
Flat Pan Test  
For best cooking results, use a pan  
with a flat bottom. To determine if  
pan has a flat bottom.  
SELECT  
AVOID  
Flat bottomed cookware.  
Cookware with rounded or warped bottoms.  
Light gauge metal cookware.  
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of  
pan. If pan is not flat, gaps  
between bottom of pan and  
edge of ruler can be seen.  
2. A small groove or mark on a  
pan does not affect cooking  
times. However, if a pan has a  
gap, formed rings, or an uneven  
bottom, it does not cook  
Heavy gauge metal cookware.  
Handles that are secure, that are not  
heavy enough to tilt pan.  
Cookware with loose or broken handles.  
Proper pan size.  
Cookware that is smaller than or greater than  
heating element size by 1 inch.  
Flat bottomed wok  
Wok with a ringstand on bottom  
efficiently and in some cases  
may not boil liquid.  
Can I can?  
Amana manufactures a special  
canning element that enable canning  
without causing damage to the range.  
It can be obtained through an Amana  
dealer or by calling (800) 843-0304.

USES  
Aluminum  
Heats and cools quickly. Use for frying, braising,  
and roasting.  
Stainless Steel  
Heats and cools at moderate rate. Use for soups,  
sauces, vegetables, general cooking.  
In many types of ranges, the heat  
generated by the canning cookware  
overheats the element and can cause  
failure of the heating element and  
possible damage to the range backguard.  
This hazard can be prevented by using  
the canning element.  
Copper Clad /  
Tin Lined  
Heats and cools quickly. Use for gourmet cooking,  
wine sauces, egg dishes.  
Cast Iron  
Heats and cools slowly. Use for low heat cooking,  
frying.  
Enamelware  
Heating speed depends on base metal in the  
cookware. Use for low heat cooking.  
Ceramic (Glass)  
Heats and cools slowly. Use for low heat cooking.  
Not recommended for smoothtop cooking.

Oven temperature control adjustment  
Your new range is calibrated at the factory for temperature. Due to individual  
variances and preferences, it may be necessary to adjust individual ovens  
once they have been installed.  
When first using oven, follow recipe times and temperatures. Before  
adjusting oven baking temperature, test a recipe by using a temperature set  
higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results  
should help you to decide how much adjustment is needed. Remember that  
a convection oven will cook food more quickly than a standard (conventional)  
oven.  
An accurate digital thermometer is necessary to calibrate the oven. Store  
purchased oven thermometers do not measure oven temperature accurately.  
NOTE: Remove aluminum foil from oven—it will alter oven performance.  
Check for blocked heat vents. If it still appears the oven is not performing as  
expected, a calibration may be done.

Common Baking Problems  
If you begin to notice consistent problems refer to the chart below for possible solutions. If results are still poor,  
contact Amana Consumer Affairs at (800) 843-0304.  
Problem  
Cause  
Test your cakes for doneness  
While they are still in the oven. Because  
of variances across individual ovens, it  
is best to test for the proper consistency  
rather than solely relying on time and  
visual appearance as an indicator.  
Lopsided cakes  
(bake unevenly)  
Pans touching each other or oven walls.  
Batter spread unevenly in pan.  
Uneven heat distribution in oven.  
Oven is not level.  
Cakes, cookies, biscuits  
Oven not preheated.  
too brown on bottom or top Pans touching each other or oven walls.  
Using glass, darkened, warped or dull  
finish metal pans.  
Rack position too high or low.  
Incorrect use of aluminum foil.  
Oven temperature too high.  
It may not be the oven  
Pies don’t brown  
Incorrect rack position.  
Using shiny metal pans.  
Temperature set too low.  
Cake problems may be in the mixing of  
the batter. Overbeating can cause cake  
structure to break down and excessive  
shrinkage of the cake. Underbeating  
can result in lumpy cakes that may not  
be cooked thoroughly. All ingredients  
should be at room temperature—not  
out of the refrigerator. Make sure to  
follow the recipes directions for how  
long the batter should be mixed.  
Cakes not done in center  
Temperature too high.  
Pan too small.  
Baking time too short.  
Pan not centered in oven.  
Cakes fall  
Too much shortening or sugar.  
Too much or too little liquid.  
Temperature too low.  
Old or too little baking powder.  
Pan too small.  
Oven door opened frequently (peeking).  
Insufficient baking.  
Cake stuck?  
Excessive shrinkage  
Too little leavening.  
Mixing batter too long.  
Pan too large.  
Oven temperature too high.  
Baking time too long.  
Allow cake to cool in cake pan on a rack  
for 10 minutes before removing. Larger  
cakes (over 14 inches in diameter) may  
take 15 minutes. If the cake has cooled  
too long, reheat in the oven at 250°F for  
a few minutes.  
Cakes high in middle  
or cracked  
Temperature set too high.  
Overmixing.  
Too much flour.

Meat Basics  
While cooking has always been a talent, it is now becoming a science, also. Amana provides this information as a  
guide to aid in preparation. For specific questions regarding meat preparation, handling, or storage contact  
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Meat & Poultry Hotline at (800) 535-4555.  
Handling Hints  
Cooking Tips  
Storage Safety  
When shopping, put meat in its  
own separate plastic sack to  
keep drips off other foods.  
Defrost frozen meats in  
Marinate meat in the  
refrigerator. Throw out excess  
marinade that came into contact  
with meat.  
Once carved, refrigerate unused  
portion immediately.  
Keep hot foods hot and cold  
foods cold when serving meals.  
Separate cooked foods into  
small portions for fast cooling.  
Do not store cooked ground  
meats or meals containing  
ground meats for longer than  
3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.  
Do not allow cooked or  
refrigerator, not at room  
temperature.  
Use an oven-proof meat  
thermometer.  
Cook meat to internal  
temperature recommended by  
USDA.  
Keep meat cool and covered  
until it is time to cook.  
Wash hands with warm soapy  
water before and after handling  
meat or raw egg.  
When reheating foods, heat to  
an internal temperature of at  
least 165 °F.  
While cooking meats, turn over  
at least once.  
Thoroughly wash any surface or  
utensil raw meat or egg touched.  
Do not put cooked meat on the  
same plate that held raw meat.  
uncooked meat juices to come  
into contact with ready-to-eat  
foods such as fruits or  
vegetables.  
Tenderizing  
Using a Meat Thermometer  
Braising is only one way to tenderize  
less tender cuts. Before cooking, you  
may pound, cube, marinate, or use  
commercially prepared meat  
When using a meat thermometer, remember to insert it at a slight angle, in  
the thickest part of the meat, away from fat and bone. The meat should be  
removed when 5°F below the desired final temperature. While the meat sits  
before carving, it will continue to cook internally, raising the last 5°F by itself.  
tenderizers. You may then use a dry  
method to cook the meat.  
A meat thermometer can  
Take the guesswork out of cooking to a desired ‘doneness’.  
Help reduce the risk of foodborne illness.  
Marinades are acidic liquids such  
as wine, citrus, or vinegar.  
Marinades soften meat fibers but  
only penetrate about one-fourth of  
an inch into the interior of the  
meat. Do not marinate meat for  
longer than 24 hours.  
Oven-safe Thermometer  
Inserted before the meat is placed in the oven, this thermometer stays  
with the meat while it cooks.  
The internal temperature will rise slowly as the meat cooks.  
Pounding with a heavy meat mallet  
breaks down the connective tissue  
to tenderize meat.  
Cubing breaks down the structure  
more than pounding. Cubing is  
done at the meat counter.  
Commercial tenderizers are  
primarily enzymes that work on the  
outer fourth inch on a meat cut.  
Make sure to follow the  
Instant-read Thermometer  
Not oven safe, these thermometers are placed in the meat when it is  
removed from the oven.  
While times may vary, an accurate temperature is normally displayed  
within one to two minutes.  
When using an instant-read, remember to clean the thermometer stem  
with warm, soapy water between readings.

Broiling Guidelines  
Broiling is a dry heat cooking method that allows a restaurant quality  
charbroiled flavor. Meat is exposed directly to the heating element at high  
temperatures.  
1. Place meat on rack in broiler pan, with the surface of cuts the specified  
distance from the heating element (specified below).  
2. Broil for half the recommended time, or until the surface is browned.  
3. Turn meat and continue broiling to desired internal temperature.  
4. Season, if desired.

Braising Guidelines  
Less tender cuts such as those from the round, chuck, brisket and shank  
require moist cooking. A longer cooking time at lower temperatures with  
moisture helps soften the meat.  
1. Brown meat with a small amount of oil in heavy pan.  
2. Pour off excessive drippings, season, if desired.  
3. Add small amount of liquid (1/2 to 2 cups) and cover tightly.  
Simmer gently over low heat on top of the range or in a 325°F oven,  
until meat is fork tender.
