Surfac Cooking Tips
• Th simm r lin on th control pan l is th minimum variabl s tting
and produc s a low flam for simm ring d licat it ms.
• Us low or m dium flam h ights wh n cooking in cookwar that ar
poor conductors of h at, such as glass, c ramic, and cast iron. R duc
th flam h ight until it cov rs approximat ly 1/3 of th cookwar
diam t r. This will nsur mor v n h ating within th cookwar and
r duc th lik lihood of burning or scorching th food.
• R duc th flam if it is xt nd d b yond th bottom of th cookwar .
A flam that xt nds along th sid s of th cookwar is pot ntially
dang rous, h ats th cookwar handl and kitch n inst ad of th food,
and wast s n rgy.
• R duc th flam h ight to th minimum l v l n c ssary to p rform th
d sir d cooking proc ss. R m mb r that food cooks just as quickly at a
g ntl boil as it do s at a rolling boil. Maintaining a high r boil than is
n c ssary caus s a loss in food flavor and nutri nts.
