Woks

Either flat-based or round-bottom woks with the
accessory ring can be used on all models. Round
bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The
wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok
support ring must be purchased separately.

Canning Tips
•
A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
•
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
•
Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
•
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
•
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
Suggestions For Using the Surface Burner
Cooking Recommendations
•
Use the chart beginning on page 14 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans
selected and the starting temperature of the food.
•
On the chart, the "Finish Setting" has been separated
for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may or
may not be a change between the two burner settings.
®
•
The ExtraLow
setting can be either a cooking or a
holding setting.
•
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
