Cooking guidelines
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
z
spills that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on
z
a high setting.
Start cooking on a high setting. When food comes to the boil, reduce the setting
z
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.
z
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
z
Use the lowest setting on the dual wok burner to maintain low heat for turn
z
down and simmering.
Cookware
Use saucepans with thick flat bases. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take
z
longer to cook.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat
z
onto your benchtop and damage its surface.
Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the pan
z
supports or deflect the flame.
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large
z
burner is not efficient.
The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan base diameters that may
be used on each burner:
