•   Towels, cloths or curtains should not be anywhere near your electric stove
•   Take extra precautions when it comes to you and try not lean over heated elements.
•   Ensure the top switch is turned off when not in use

WHAT TO USE:
Smooth cook tops are the best type of cookware to use on electric stoves while flat bottom cookware is also ideal. Copper, stainless steel and cast iron are the best materials to keep in mind while shopping for your pots and pans. However, woks or round metal vessels are not recommended for electric stoves because of their shape.

HOW IT WORKS?
When using electric stoves, electricity runs through a wire inside the coil making them turn orange which indicates it is heated. Some newer electric stoves have the coil built in and when you turn on the stove, electricity runs through it, making the metal heat up.
