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.
– Always pre-heat with the setting that will subsequently be used or cooking.
