Re-Using Oil
Follow these simple directions to use the oil three or four times:
Allow oil to cool, then pour through a strainer lined with several
thicknesses of cheese cloth or paper towels into a clean container.
Cover and store oil in a cool place.
When ready to re-use, add a few slices of raw potato to the used
oil during the heating period. This will remove most food odors in
the oil. Discard potatoes after they have browned. A small amount
of fresh oil can be added to the used oil, as required. If oil darkens
or begins to smoke while heating, discard and use fresh oil.
Steaming
Steaming is a common method of Asian cooking. Food is cooked in
its own juices by steam over boiling water. Steaming is a healthy
way to prepare food. The moist heat retains the food's nutrients,
heightens the flavor, preserves the color and minimizes shrinkage.
A Steamer Rack is provided with your MAXIM® Wok. Place the
Steamer Rack into the Wok. Add water to the Wok so that it is one
inch below the Rack. Place the food to be steamed directly on the
Rack, or place the food in a heat proof dish and then onto the
Rack. Food must never be in the boiling water. Place Wok Cover
onto Wok. Set Temperature Control Knob to 250ºF (125ºC) and
cook according to recipe. Add hot water to maintain steaming.
WARNING: This unit produces heat and escaping steam.
Use extreme caution when removing or lifting the Lid
while cooking.
