Use a
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a
The Wok Holder fits on top of the cooktop grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only. Do not use flat- bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.
Do not use a wok on any other support ring. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Tips Care and Cleaning Operating
Cookware
Aluminum:
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware: those for oven use only and those for cooktop cooking (saucepans, coffee and tea pots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking.
It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on a gas cooktop.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
