Important!
Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the ceramic glass surface as this can
scratch the glass.
Do not drag pans backwards and forwards across the pan support pins, burner heads and trim
rings eg when placing and removing pans or sauteing food, as this can damage them, especially
the coating on the pan support pins.
Cooking tips
Match the size of the pan to the burner. You do not need to change burners during cooking
because each Aero™ burner goes from very high to very low.
For best results use high-quality pans with flat, thick bases.
Only use just enough water to cover the food when boiling and use a lid on the pan to reduce
the cooking time and save energy.
For the small burner, pans should be 10 cm (4”) or larger in diameter.
For the medium burner, pans should be 15 cm (6”) or larger in diameter.
For the wok burner, pans should be 18 cm (7 “) or larger in diameter. Woks should be no larger
than 40 cm (16”). Check that your wok is adequately supported by the wok stand.
Using the cooktop’s special talents
The Aero™ burners on your cooktop are versatile, highly responsive and operate over a wide
range of settings. Turning the dial gives you accurate and repeatable control of the flame. Once
you know what setting is right for your cooking task, you can always use that exact setting for
the task.
Simmering, keeping food warm, and cooking rice
The low turn-down on the smaller Aero™ burners is perfect for delicate tasks, and for keeping
hot food warm. Experiment with the low settings until you find the one that suits your pans and
the food you are cooking.
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85
O
C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally
to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because
the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour-
thickened sauces below boiling point.
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than
the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
