temperatures cause the sugar to melt into the glass ceramic sur ace and
can damage it permanently. When cooking such oodstu s it is essential
that the wok pan supplied be used.
This wok hob transmits heat directly to the ood. Cooking directly in the wok
cavity on the glass ceramic sur ace enables a highly economical use o
cooking ats. Gentle, low- at cooking preserves vital vitamins and minerals.
– Pre-heat the wok cavity or 5-7 minutes with the lid (o the wok pan) so
that the heat is distributed better and more evenly.

the wok cavity in order to dissolve the meat juices.
Steaming
– Do not pour more than ½ liter o water into the wok cavity.
– Put the ood to be cooked, e.g. 2 trout, into a special basket and place the
basket above the water in the wok cavity .
– Put the lid on and bring the water to the boil at setting 9.
Then turn the pan down to setting 3-4.
Braising
– The setting should not be higher than 4-5.
