*Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Using a wok

Figure 3

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cooktop are available in most cookshop or hardware stores. Round- bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the burner circumference) may also be used. The metal ring was designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the :_

burner circumference. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop

surface could be damaged.
