tips for cooking with the wok electrolux 15
Tips for cooking with the
wok
The induction wok is eminently suitable
for preparing “á la minute” dishes, in
particular Chinese specialities. The food
is continuously turned during the short
frying time. The induction heating sys-
tem means that in the wok you can cook
extremely quickly and at high heat. As a
result meat and fish remain succulent
and vegetables retain colour, taste and
vitamins.
Take care! Risks of burns from over-
heated fats and oils.
The induction wok has – especially
at heat setting 7 and above – a high
power with extremely fast reaction
time. Fat and oil overheat very
quickly. When it starts to smoke, it is
too hot.
When cooking with fat or oil do not
leave the appliance unattended.
The frying temperature can be esti-
mated by testing with a wooden
spoon. Hold the handle of a wooden
spoon in the hot fat:
–If small bubbles rise to the surface,
the frying temperature has been
reached.
–If there are no bubbles, the frying
temperature has not yet been
reached.

16 electrolux tips for cooking with the wok
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products con-
taining starch, can constitute a
health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore we recommend cooking
at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Handling the wok
•Place the wok pan into the wok
niche carefully. If handled carelessly,
the handle can hit the glass ceramic
surface and damage it.
•Do not shake the wok pan while it is
in the wok niche. The glass ceramic
surface can be scratched or dam-
aged by the handle.

ing zone set to heat setting 9 is heat-
ed within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of

18 electrolux tips for cooking with the wok
Methods of preparation in the
wok
Stir frying
•Wok is swirled with oil.
•Ingredients cut into small pieces, in-
cluding sauces and seasonings, are
quickly fried over a high heat while
continuously being stirred.
•Due to the extremely short cooking
time the ingredients should be ready
before you start cooking.
•Start with the ingredients with the
longest cooking time.
•Very healthy method of preparation.
•Vegetables retain their own taste and
colour and remain nice and crunchy.
•Small pieces of meat remain tender.
Deep frying
•Very small drop in temperature.
•Low oil consumption.
•Due to the constant temperature the
fried food does not absorb much fat.
•Meat, fish, potatoes, vegetables,
etc. retain an even colour and crust
and therefore the typical taste.
•Only use fats that are specially in-
tended for deep frying.
Poaching / Whipping
•Special cooking process.
•Induction wok is very suitable.
•Curved shape of the wok is extreme-
ly suitable for whipping up custards,
sabayons, butter sauces, fatless
sponge or parfait mixtures without a
bain marie at 65° C to 80° C.
Simmering
•Boiling: Cooking at boiling point
(bubbling), e.g. spaghetti.
•Simmering: Cooking just under the
boiling point (not bubbling), e.g.
dumplings
Stewing
•Cooking in its own juice, or possibly
with the addition of a little fat and
other liquid.
•Cooking high water content food
such as vegetables, fish and fruit
with a lid on over moderate heat, to
retain flavours.
Steaming
•Very gentle method of preparation.
•A high level of the food’s nutrient
content and colour are retained.
