Surface Cooking
Setting Proper Surface Burner F_ame Size
For most cooking - start on the highest controU setting and then turn to a
Uowerone to compUete the process, Use the recommendations beUowas 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 wHUinfluence the
setting needed,
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High FUame Start most foods; bring water to a boll; pan broiling,
Medium FUame Maintain a sUowboll; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming,
Low FUame Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing,
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil, A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame,
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface controU knob
accordingUy. Ufthe 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.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metaJ or aluminum pans. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment, A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible
in a weNighted room, Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp, Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange,
Using the Wok Stand
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow round=bottomed
woks to be used, It is recommended that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5
cm) Wok. The Wok Stand MUST be used on either the right or left FRONT
burner positions, Cooking with a Wok using the Wok Stand on the rear burner
positions may damage the control panel of the range. And it is recommended
that you use the right front POWER burner for best performance, If properly
positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate,
To Property Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the
grate positioning the angled notch in the Wok Stand towards the rear of the
range (See Fig 1). Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into
the slots on the bottom of the stand (See Figure 2),
Always use potholders
to remove the wok stand from the grate,
Allow the wok stand to cool before
removing, Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high
heat; such as countertops,
Be sure the Wok Stand
is positioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns,
Position Wok Stand centered over burner gl'ate
with angled notch in lower ring
of Wok Stand as shown. Lower on to grate
