Tips for cooking and roasting

The values in the settings table serve as mere guidelines, since more or less heat may be required, depending on the type and condition of the foods, as well as the size and fullness of the pot.

The high output causes grease and oil to heat up quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying; grease can catch fire and burn the food.

The rear cooking zones should be used to prepare foods requiring longer cooking times.

For parboiling, frying and deep-frying large portions, you should use the high-output burners or wok burners.

Wok tips

We recommend woks with a concave bottom. You can order a high-quality wok as a special accessory (WP 400 001)

For cooking, only use cooking oil that can be heated up, such as peanut oil, with the wok.

Cook the ingredients at high heat while stirring constantly, for not too long. The vegetables should still be firm to the bite.

It is advisable to use a flat ladle with a long handle, made of heat-resistant material, to stir and scoop out.

Information on cookware

The following information will help you save energy and avoid damage to cooking vessels.

Appropriate cooking vessels

Burner	Recommended	Minimumdiameter
	diameter of pot	of pot base
	base

Normal burner	200 - 240 mm	90 mm

High-output	240 - 280 mm	90 mm
burner

Wok burner	240 - 320 mm	160 mm

Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm or greater than 280 mm (320 mm for wok burners) shouldn't be used. If you use larger pots, you must maintain a

minimum clearance of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and surrounding flammable objects. A minimum distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the control knob or control panel and the pot or pan. The cooking vessel must touch the control panel.

Information for use

Use cooking vessels of appropriate size for the particular burner.

Don't use small cooking vessels on large burners. The flame shouldn't come in contact with the sides of the cooking vessel.

Don't use any deformed cooking vessels that don't stand solidly on the stovetop. The vessels could tip over.

Only use cooking vessels with flat and thick bottoms.

Don't cook without a lid or if the lid is not on all the way. The majority of the heat is lost.
