Both the top and base of the Gourmet Wok may be placed in the dishwasher. The base should be placed on the only on the top rack of the dishwasher or washed by hand.

STIR-FRYING

Recommended temperature probe setting - ‘High Sear’ for stir frying meat.

12-14 for vegetables and seafood.

Stir-frying is an energy efficient and healthy way of cooking foods. The benefit of this method is its speed and the flavor result. The non-stick cooking surface on your wok also means that less oil is required for cooking. The cooking action for stir-frying is a continual tossing motion to ensure the food is evenly exposed to the heat and cooks quickly and evenly in a couple of minutes.

Stir-frying should be carried out using a high heat setting.

Preheat your wok before adding any ingredients, allow the temperature light to cycle ‘on’ and ‘off’ several times. This will allow the wok to reach an even high temperature.

Stir-frying is a dry heat cooking method and is best suited to tender cuts of meat. Timing is a key factor when cooking them as over cooking will give a tough, dry result. Cooking times depend on the size and thickness of the cut, as the bigger the cut the more time is needed.

RECOMMENDED CUTS FOR STIR FRYING
