Surface Cooking
For most 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amesizeforvarioustypes
ofcooking.Thesizeandtypeofutensilusedand
theamountoffoodbeingcookedwillinuence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.
The coloroftheameis the key to proper burner
adjustment.Agoodameisclear,blue andhardly
visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ame
shouldbesteadyandsharplydened.Adjustorclean

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