Care and Cleaning
1 Never immerse the temperature control, cord or plug in water or
other liquid. If cleaning of the probe is necessary, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Your Wok, tempered glass lid, and rack can
be washed by hand in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher (with
the temperature probe and base removed).
2 Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do not place
in dishwasher. Store and handle the temperature control carefully.
Avoid knocking or dropping the control as this can damage
the probe.
3 Use caution when handling the glass lid. Avoid sudden temperature
changes as this can cause the lid to crack. For example, do not
immerse a hot glass lid in cold water. Do not over tighten the knob
on the glass lid as this can result in damage or cracking.
4 Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
Electric Wok Cooking Tips
1 Don’t overload the wok when stir-frying. Add only about 8 ounces
of meat or 2 cups of vegetables at a time. If you add too much food
at one time, you will be “stewing” your food instead of stir-frying.
Overloading the wok is a common mistake to make when stir-frying.
2 Stir-fry food in small batches. Remove each batch before starting
another, and then combine them all prior to serving.
3 Cut all vegetables into similar small sizes when stir-frying.
4 Do all of the meal prep prior to adding food to the wok. Line up
all ingredients in the order of how they will be cooked. This allows
the food to be more evenly cooked.
5 When using the wok to braise foods, use high heat to sear the meat,
then add remaining ingredients, cover and turn heat to low until a
gentle bubbling can be seen.
6 When using the wok as a candy pot, set temperature to a high heat
setting until mixture boils, then lower heat to the temperature called
for in the recipe. Clean-up when making candy is much easier due to
the non-stock coating.
