COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
■
The burner must be chosen according to the
diameter of the pans and energy required.
■
The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.
■
Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.
■
For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going
up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer
to boil.
■
For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
■
Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
■
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
■
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
■
When deep fat frying:
–
Fill the pan only one third full of oil.
–
DO NOT
cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT
leave the pan unattended.
–
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
–
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
–
DO NOT
use water on the fire.
–
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
During use cooking vessels become hot. Pay special attention not to touch the hot
vessels positioned on the cooking hob especially when operating the control knobs.
