Cooking guidelines
Important!
11US CA
Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the ceramic glass surface as this can scratch the glass.
Do not drag pans backwards and forwards across the pan support pins, burner heads and trim rings eg when placing and removing pans or sauteing food, as this can damage them, especially the coating on the pan support pins.
Cooking tips
Match the size of the pan to the burner. You may not need to change burners during cooking because each Aero™ burner goes from very high to very low.
For best results use
Only use just enough water to cover the food when boiling and use a lid on the pan to reduce the cooking time and save energy.
For the small burner, pans should be 4” (10 cm) or larger in diameter. For the medium burner, pans should be 6” (15 cm) or larger in diameter.
For the wok burner, pans should be 7 “ (18 cm) or larger in diameter. Woks should be no larger than 16” (40 cm). Check that your wok is adequately supported by the wok stand.
Using the CookSurface’s special talents
The Aero™ burners on your CookSurface are versatile, highly responsive and operate over a wide range of settings. Turning the dial gives you accurate and repeatable control of the flame. Once you know what setting is right for your cooking task, you can always use that exact setting for the task.
Simmering, keeping food warm, and cooking rice
The low
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 185 OF (85 OC), when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
