Using a wok

in most cookshop or hardware
stores, Round-bottomed woks
(with a support ring that does not
extend beyond the burner unit) may
aUso be used, The metaU ring was
designed to support the wok safeUy
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) or fat
(frying),
Wire trivets: Do not use wire triv-
ets, Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the grates,
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metaJ ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
