Tips for cooking with the wok
The induction wok is eminently suitable for preparing "á la minute" dishes, in
particular Chinese specialities. The food is continuously turned during the short
frying time. The induction heating system means that in the wok you can cook
extremely quickly and at high heat. As a result meat and fish remain succulent
and vegetables retain colour, taste and vitamins.
Take care! Risks of burns from overheated fats and oils.
The induction wok has – especially at heat setting 7 and above – a high power
with extremely fast reaction time. Fat and oil overheat very quickly. When it
starts to smoke, it is too hot.
When cooking with fat or oil do not leave the appliance unattended.
The frying temperature can be estimated by testing with a wooden spoon. Hold
the handle of a wooden spoon in the hot fat:
– If small bubbles rise to the surface, the frying temperature has been reached.
– If there are no bubbles, the frying temperature has not yet been reached.
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Handling the wok
• Place the wok pan into the wok niche carefully. If handled carelessly, the han-
dle can hit the glass ceramic surface and damage it.
• Do not shake the wok pan while it is in the wok niche. The glass ceramic sur-
face can be scratched or damaged by the handle.
