PRACTICAL HINTS FOR USE
WARNING
Do not use pots which exceed the width of the trivet (the trivet is the frame with fingers that
the pot sits on). If pot size exceeds the edge of the trivet, flames could cause damage to work
surfaces either side of the burner. Do not use pots which are too small for the burner size,
they become unstable on the trivet.
Always use a vessel for cooking that is appropriate in size for the size of burner. Never use
pots that are too small or too large. For wok cooking it is recommended that a domestic size
wok, no larger than 400mm in diameter be used.
Always use the small pot trivet for pots with a base smaller than 100mm.
Use a strong flame to bring liquids to boil, seal meat and generally for all food which must be
cooked rapidly i.e. when using a wok.
Use a low flame for sauces or stews.
Do not cook food over too strong a heat. Boiling food fast does not cook any faster but
violently stirs up the food causing it to lose flavour.
