Wok burner (GKB711 and GKB795)
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature. For
this purpose it is important:
■ to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
■ to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil when
stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on the other
hand will burn because of the high heat;
■ to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so that at the
end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time.
Use of the wok auxiliary support (GKB711 and GKB795)
The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner
provides additional stability for woks with a
rounded base.
The support can be obtained as an accessory:

■ Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames play around
the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can get too hot.
■ When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deep-frying it is
better to use the strong, super-strong or wok burner.
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer
burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right
through. For all other dishes use the normal burners.
■ Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
■ Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and
pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
