Cooking guidelines

IMPORTANT!

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spills that may ignite.

Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on

a high setting.

Start cooking on a high setting. When food comes to the boil, reduce the setting

and maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce

the cooking time.

Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.

Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.

For simmering, the recommended burner to use is the semi-rapid burner at the rear of

the cooktop or the inner ring of the dual wok burner at the front of the cooktop. Use for

delicate cooking such as melting chocolate.

For maximum power, the recommended burner to use is the triple ring burner in the

centre of the cooktop or the full dual wok burner at the front of the cookop. Use for

heat-intensive cooking such as searing meat.

Use the lowest setting on the dual wok burner to maintain low heat for turn

down and simmering.

Cookware

Use saucepans with thick flat bases. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take

longer to cook.

Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat

onto your benchtop and damage its surface.

Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the pan

supports or deflect the flame.

Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large

burner is not efficient.

The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan base diameters that

may be used on each burner:
