Whirlpool SF365BEXN0 manual Flame Size, Cooking Utensils

Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy.

Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and material, what you are cooking, and whether or not you are cooking with liquid.

Start most cooking on a high flame, then turn to a lower one to complete the process.

The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Flame Size	Type of Cooking
HI	Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
	pan broiling
	Continue a rapid boil; fry; deep fat fry
MED	Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,
	gravies; steam
	Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
LOW	Keep warm; melt; simmer
