OPTIMUM USE OF THE WOK BURNER pans
Using the wok burner as a cooking burner
– Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames 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.
– Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
– Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably
and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the
food.
WRONG RIGHT
Noise in the base of the pan
While cooking, you might hear a rattling noise in the base of the pan.
This is harmless. The noise is due to the high power of the cooking zone
having an effect on the base of the pan. Reduce the rattling noise by
selecting a lower setting.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure cookers. The
cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up
to pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking
process stops immediately.
Used pans
– Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no
longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
