Wok
cooking
All burner grates are designed to support
wok cooking. For easy access and additional
clearances to combustibles, we suggest using
a front burner for wok cooking.
Lift out one burner grate at the front. Turn
it over and replace in the grate frame. The
wok side is contoured to support a wok with
a round or bowl shaped bottom. This design
eliminates the need for a wok ring and will
accommodate most woks.
Check to be sure that your wok fits securely
and is stable when placed on the wok grate.
CAUTION: Good wok stability is best achieved
by using round-bottom woks. Flat-bottom woks
are not recommended. Avoid using woks with
extremely smooth, untextured, bottom surface
finishes as these may allow undesired rocking
of the wok in the grate cradle.
ATTENTION : Pour obtenir une bonne
stabilité de travail, il vaut mieux utiliser des
woks à fond rond. Les woks à fond plat ne sont
pas recommandés. Évitez d’utiliser des woks
dont le fond a une surface extrêmement lisse,
sans texture, car il peuvent occasionner un
balancement imprévu du wok dans le trou de
la grille.
Cookware Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids for cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—
those for oven use only and those for surface
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conductors heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure
it can be used on gas cooktops.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties, and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination
metal skillets generally work satisfactorily if
they are used at medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
