Flame Size
'1'' I lll
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame,.
RIGHT
m r
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process, Use the chart 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
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingfy, If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy, If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickty that the center will be
undercooked Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown nor cook properly
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame(6-HI) Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame (3_5) Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame (LO-2) Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans=
Ull
Proper Burner
Adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment A good flame is
clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room Each cone of flame should
