Warning! Take care! Risks of burns
from overheated fats and oils.
The induction wok has - specially at the
heat setting 9 and above - a high pow-
er with very fast reaction time. Fat and
oil become too hot very quickly. When
it starts to smoke, it is too hot.
When cooking with fat or oil do not
leave the appliance unattended.
With small quantity of food / oil use the
Power function only for a short time. If
not, there is the risk of damage to the
wok pan.
The frying temperature can be estima-
ted by testing with a wooden spoon.
Hold the handle of a wooden spoon in
the hot fat:
– If small bubbles rise to the surface,
the frying temperature has been
reached.
– If there are no bubbles, the frying
temperature has not yet been
reached.
COOKING METHODS FOR THE WOK
Stir-frying
• Swirl the wok with oil.
• Cut the ingredients into small pieces. Add
sauces and seasonings and quickly fry
over a high heat while stirring continuous-
ly.
• The cooking time is very short. Make
sure that the ingredients are prepared
before you start cooking.
• Start with the ingredients with the longest
cooking time.
• Stir-frying is a very healthy cooking meth-
od.
• Vegetables keep their taste and colour,
and stay nice and crunchy.
• Small pieces of meat stay tender.
Deep-frying
• The wok provides a very small drop in
temperature and low oil consumption.
• Because of the constant temperature the
fried food does not absorb much fat.
• Meat, fish, potatoes, vegetables, etc.
keep an even colour and crust, and thus
also the usual taste.
• Only use fats that are specially intended
for deep-frying.
Poaching / Whipping
• The curved shape of the wok is suitable
for whipping up custards, sabayons, but-
ter sauces, fatless sponge or parfait mix-
tures without a bain marie at 65° C to
80° C.
Simmering
• Boiling: to cook food (for example spa-
ghetti) at the boiling point.
• Simmering: to cook food (for example
dumplings) just under the boiling point.
Stewing
• Cook the food in its own juice, or add of
a little fat and other liquid.
• Use this method to cook food with a high
water content (such as vegetables, fish
and fruit) with a lid on over moderate
heat, to keep the flavour.
Steaming
• This is a gentle cooking method, which
keeps a high level of the food’s nutrient
content and colour.
•
Using fats and oils
When the temperature is too high, the fat
begins to smoke (so-called “smoking
point”)
