Wok Centre Ring
The Wok ring is designed fit the centre burner. It will
not fit any of the other burner pan supports
It should be located so that the cut-outs in the ring
sit directly on the projecting burner supports.
Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It’s
important that the Wok is securely held - but if the
Wok is too big or too small the ring will not support it
properly.
In order for the Wok to heat properly it must be
close to the burner. For this reason we don’t
recommend that you use the Wok ring with a flat
bottomed wok.
When you fit the ring, check that it is properly
located on the pan support fingers.
Make sure that it is stable and that the Wok is sitting
level in the ring.
The cradle will get very hot in use - allow plenty
of time for it to cool before you pick it up.
Wok Cooking
A Wok may be used for 5 traditional methods of
oriental cooking: -
Stir Frying
Shallow Frying
Deep Frying
Steaming
Braising
Stir frying has become the most familiar and
popular method of oriental cooking. The
continual manual process requires the addition
of one food item at a time with the relatively fast
preparation time offering the benefit of colour
and nutrient retention whilst retaining a crisp
texture.
The other 4 types of Wok cooking do not require
constant stirring. These methods require a
steadier base for the utensil as the Wok
contains very hot water or oil. The Wok ring
gives greater stability when practising these
methods of cooking - but take care.
