COOKING GUIDELINES AND COOKWARE
Cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
●
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite.
●
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
●
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
●
Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
Cookware
●
Use saucepans with thick flat bases.
●
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat
onto your countertop and damage its surface.
●
Always make sure saucepans are stable by centring them over the burner.
●
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large
burner is not efficient.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan
base diameters that may be used on each burner:
BURNER MINIMUM DIAMETER MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Auxiliary n/a 8 1/2” (22 cm)
Semi-rapid n/a 8 1/2” (22 cm)
Rapid n/a 8 1/2” (22 cm)
Dual Wok regular pans (without
small pan support)
7 7/8” (20 cm) 15 1/2” (40 cm)
woks (with wok stand) n/a 17 1/2” (45 cm)
