over a high heat while stirring continuous-
ly.
• The cooking time is very short. Make
sure that the ingredients are prepared
before you start cooking.
• Start with the ingredients with the longest
cooking time.
• Stir-frying is a very healthy cooking meth-
od.
• Vegetables keep their taste and colour,
and stay nice and crunchy.
• Small pieces of meat stay tender.
Deep-frying
• The wok provides a very small drop in
temperature and low oil consumption.
• Because of the constant temperature the
fried food does not absorb much fat.
• Meat, fish, potatoes, vegetables, etc.
keep an even colour and crust, and thus
also the usual taste.
• Only use fats that are specially intended
for deep-frying.
Poaching / Whipping
• The curved shape of the wok is suitable
for whipping up custards, sabayons, but-
ter sauces, fatless sponge or parfait mix-
tures without a bain marie at 65° C to
80° C.
Simmering
• Boiling: to cook food (for example spa-
ghetti) at the boiling point.
• Simmering: to cook food (for example
dumplings) just under the boiling point.
Stewing
• Cook the food in its own juice, or add of
a little fat and other liquid.
• Use this method to cook food with a high
water content (such as vegetables, fish
and fruit) with a lid on over moderate
heat, to keep the flavour.
Steaming
• This is a gentle cooking method, which
keeps a high level of the food’s nutrient
content and colour.
• Using fats and oils
When the temperature is too high, the fat
begins to smoke (so-called “smoking
point”)

Important!
According to the newest
