By Doris Thomas Lancaster Extension Home Economist PROPER CARE OF POTS AND PANS CAN SAVE ENERGY Playing with mother’s pots and pans has kept many generations of babies happy—but it has not made the best use of cooking energy. The finest electric or gas range, equipped with all the latest features, won’t per form well if you use warped or dented pots and pans. Utensils with scratched and scoured surfaces, inner surface which you can’t get completely clean, warped bottoms, dented sides, loose handles or badly fitting lids will give unsatisfactory results both in cooking and in clean-up.

They help distribute heat evenly and make stirring easier. * A flat bottom for even heating and preventing hot spots.
