Heat distribution and heating efficiency were investigated on conventional and glass/cerami c surfaced electric ranges with saucepans of selected materials and bottom con formations. Loads were fat-f lour, water, and vegetable oil. Heating rate and efficiency but not patterns of heat distribution were better on the conventional electric range than on either of the two glass/ceramic cooking tops. A flat-bottomed pan with high thermal con ductivity performed best on all ranges.
