Tips for cooking and roasting

The values in the settings table serve as mere guidelines,
since more or less heat may be required, depending on
the type and condition of the foods, as well as the size
and fullness of the pot.
The high output causes grease and oil to heat up quickly.
Don't leave food unattended while frying; grease can
catch fire and burn the food.

Tips for using a wok

Note: When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring
onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make sure that
the wok is stable on the wok ring when you are cooking.
We recommend using woks with a domed base. You can
order a high-quality wok as an optional accessory (WP
400 001).
When cooking with the wok, use only cooking oil that is
suitable for heating to high temperatures, such as peanut
oil.
Cook the ingredients at a high heat, while stirring
constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The vegetables
should be al dente.
For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is
best to use a shallow ladle with a long handle made from
a heat-resistant material.
