continuing to cook. Food is heated on
a higher flame size until it reaches this temperature and then
the flame size is reduced. Never use a hold or warm setting to
reheat cold food. Be sure knob is adjusted to produce a stable
flame. (Use the Lo setting or the simmer burner located at the
center to keep food warm.)
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the surface.
Foods are between 185° F and 200° F. A simmer setting can
also be used to steam or poach foods or continue cooking
covered foods. (Adjust the knob between Hi and Lo to obtain
the desired simmer action.)
Slow Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow
boil setting can also be used for most frying and for
maintaining the cooking of large amounts of liquids. (Adjust
the knob between Hi and Lo to obtain the desired boil action.)
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can be used to bring liquid to a boil, brown meat, stir fry,
saute, and heat oil for frying before turning to a lower setting.
The Hi setting is always used to bring liquids to a boil. Once
the liquid boils, always reduce the flame size to the lowest
setting that will maintain the boil action. (]-urn the knob to Hi
then adjust the flame size to fit the size of the pan.)
