Wok Centre Ring
The Wok ring is designed fi t the centre burner. It will not
fi t any of the other burner pan supports
It should be located so that the cut-outs in the ring sit
directly on the projecting burner supports.
Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It’s important
that the Wok is securely held - but if the Wok is too big
or too small the ring will not support it properly.
In order for the Wok to heat properly it must be close to
the burner. For this reason we don’t recommend that
you use the Wok ring with a fl at bottomed wok.
When you fi t the ring, check that it is properly located
on the pan support fi ngers.
Make sure that it is stable and that the Wok is sitting
level in the ring.
The cradle will get very hot in use - allow plenty of time
for it to cool before you pick it up.
Wok Cooking
A Wok may be used for 5 traditional methods of
oriental cooking: -
Stir
Frying
Shallow
Frying
Deep
Frying
Steaming
Braising
Stir frying has become the most familiar and
popular method of oriental cooking. The continual
manual process requires the addition of one food
item at a time with the relatively fast preparation
time off ering the benefi t of colour and nutrient
retention whilst retaining a crisp texture.
The other 4 types of Wok cooking do not require
constant stirring. These methods require a steadier
base for the utensil as the Wok contains very hot
water or oil. The Wok ring gives greater stability
when practising these methods of cooking - but
take care.
