Wokburner

Always ensure that the fl ames remain below the pan. If fl ames play
around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can
get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm.
Smaller pans will not be stable.
• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and
deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for
cooking food right through.
• For all other dishes use the semi-rapid burner.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50%
energy.
• Use pans with a fl at, clean, dry base. Pans with a fl at base stand
stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively
to the food.
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, sunfl ower 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 fi rst,
so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked
al dente at the same time.
