Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete
the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various
types of cooking The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will
influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will
brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.
Ahigher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the flame.
