3.2 How to use the appliance
The burner
Choose the burner properly for usage:
■
Use the strong, super-strong or wok burner to fry, stir-fry, deep-fry or heat large quantities
of food.
■
The simmer burner is well suited to prepare sauces and simmer and boil food. On its high
setting, this burner is strong enough to cook food through.
■
The normal burners can be used for all other dishes.
■
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.
Wok burner (GN792 and GN952)
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.
■
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.
■
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.
The burner caps on the wok burner are made of brass. It is normal for the colour of the brass
caps to change as a result of high temperature that occur during use of the wok.
Use of the wok auxiliary support (GN792 and GN952)
The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner provides additional stability for woks with a
round base.
Always position the auxiliary support on the wok
support at a 45 degree angle (see illustration).
If positioned incorrectly, the auxiliary support will get
too hot and may become damaged.
