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 system
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.
1Take care! Risks of burns from overheated 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.
3The frying temperature can be estimated 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.
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing 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 ce-
ramic surface can be scratched or damaged by the handle.

Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material
3Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the
manufacturer.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
•... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is
heated within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
3Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cook-
ing zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not af-
fect operation in any way.
Cookware material suitable
Steel, enamelled steel yes
Cast iron yes
Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass ---
Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

Methods of preparation in the wok
Stir frying
•Wok is swirled with oil.
•Ingredients cut into small pieces, including 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 intended for deep frying.
Poaching / Whipping
•Special cooking process.
•Induction wok is very suitable.
•Curved shape of the wok is extremely suitable for whipping up cus-
tards, 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.
