Surface CoOking
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the [_tensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
,and increases your risk of being
burned by the flame..
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking, The size and type
of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for cooking..
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly, If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly,.

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids, Settings may vary when using other types of pans,
