Suggested
Heat Settings
The size and type of cookware, type and amount of food
being heated, and wattage of individual elements will deter-
mine where to set the knob for cooking operations. Some
elements have a predetermined simmer and melt setting that
will require only minor adjustment up or down depending on
the food being prepared. The other elements have settings
printed around the knobs that are also unique to those
elements. Adjust the heat settings to the numbers that give
the desired cooking results. For information on cookware and
other factors affecting heat settings, refer to "Cooking Made
Simple" booklet. The following descriptions will aid in choos-
ing the settings that will give optimum results.
Hold or Warm: Food maintains a temperature above 140°F
without continuing to cook. Food is initially hot and then heat
is reduced. Never use a hold or warm setting to reheat cold
food.
Simmer: Food forms bubbles that barely break the
surface. Foods are between 185°F and 200°F.A simmer
setting can also be used to steam or poach foods or continue
cooking covered foods.
Slew Boil: Food forms bubbles at a moderate pace. A slow
boil setting can also be used for most frying and for maintain-
ing the cooking of large amounts of liquids.
Boil: Liquid forms bubbles at a rapid pace. A fast boil setting
can also be used to brown meat, stir fry, saut6, and heat oil
for frying before turning to a lower setting. The highest 3 or 4
settings on the knob are used for these cooking
operations. The highest setting is always used to bring water
to a boil. Some elements offer an even higher speed for
boiling liquids.
