OPTIMUM USE OF THE WOK BURNER wok use
Wok use
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.
For this purpose it is important:
– to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
– to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil
when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine
on the other hand will burn because of the high heat;
– to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so
that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente
at the same time.
Use of the wok auxiliary support
The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an
accessory provides additional stability in the case of a wok with a round
base. Place the auxiliary support on the wok support as indicated in the
illustration.
Use of reduction support
The reduction support supplied with the unit or available as an accessory
enables you to use very small pans.
