Optimal use of the hob
Use of the wok auxiliary support
The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an
accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a flat base.
Place the auxiliary support on the wok support as indicated in the
illustration.
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames play
around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can
get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm.
Smaller pans will not be stable.
When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and
U
deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
U
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for
cooking food right through.
For all other dishes use the semi-rapid burner.
U
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50%
U
energy.
Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand
U
stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively
to the food.
Wokburner
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high
temperature. For this purpose it is important:
to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
U
to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut
U
oil when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and
margarine on the other hand will burn because of the high heat;
to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first,
U
so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked
al dente at the same time.
