COOKING TIPS

Plastic, rubber and wooden cooking tools are recommended for use on the non-stick surface. Two long-handled wooden spoons are recommended for stir-frying. Smooth-edged metal cooking tools may be used with care. Do not use sharp-edged cooking tools as they could scratch the non-stick surface. Minor scratching will affect only the appearance of the non-stick surface, it will not harm its non-stick qualities nor will it harm food cooked in the Wok.

Using Steam Rack (if included) - A steam rack may be included with your Wok. If a steam rack is not included, a 9 or 10 inch round metal wire rack can be used for steaming.

To steam foods, pour 2-3 cups of water into the Wok and place steam rack into the bottom of Wok, making sure rack is level. Cover Wok and bring water to boil at the 225-250°F/107.2-121.1°C setting for about 5 minutes. Uncover Wok, being careful of escaping steam, and place food directly onto the rack. If food is cut into small pieces, a sheet of aluminum foil or an 8 to 9 inch shallow heatproof plate or pan may be placed on the rack to prevent food from falling through the rack. Cover Wok and steam at 225-250°F/107.2-121.1°C until food is cooked to desired doneness. If food is steamed for more than 20 minutes, more water may need to be added to prevent Wok from boiling dry. After steaming, turn control to OFF and unplug cord from the electrical outlet. Uncover Wok, being careful to escaping steam and remove food. Allow Wok to cool completely before cleaning.
