4 Comfortable cooking
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the fl ames remain below the pan. If fl ames
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 deepfrying it is best to
use the rapid or wok burner.
•
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer burner. On
its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
•
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
•
Use pans with a fl at, clean, dry base. Pans with a fl at base stand stably and pans with
a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
Wokburner (type GK635W - GK677 - GK695)
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;
•
to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunfl ower or peanut 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 fi rst, so that at the end
of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked
al dente at the same time.
