Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Usethe table 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.
Fordeep fat frying, usea thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat istoo 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 asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.
