Preparing your Kenwood WOK for use
• Before using this appliance for the first time, wash the WOK in
accordance with the instructions given in the Care and Cleaning
section.
• Condition the non-stick surface by wiping lightly with a paper towel
smeared with vegetable oil. We recommend conditioning after
thorough cleaning and every couple of months.
• Insert the power supply connector into the base of the WOK and
connect to the power supply.
• Adjust the heat control to the desired temperature setting (the
higher the number the hotter the temperature) and allow to preheat
before placing food into the WOK.
• When the WOK reaches this temperature, the light will go out and
cooking can commence. The light will cycle on and off, ensuring
that the WOK maintains the correct temperature.
Cooking Techniques
Stir Frying
Stir frying is a method of quick cooking over a high heat to seal in the
natural juices and flavour. The food is cooked in a small amount of hot
oil and continuously stirred and tossed using the spatula. Preheat the
WOK on setting 4, stir-fry on setting 3-4.
Steaming
Position the steaming rack in the WOK over water or stock. The liquid
should not touch the steaming rack. Bring the liquid to the boil on
setting 5, when the liquid boils turn the temperature control down until
the light goes out. Place the food on a heat resistant dish, place on the
1
rack and cover with the glass lid. Allow to cook.
Note: during cooking the liquid in the WOK will alternate between a boil
which will then subside.
Care and Cleaning
To maintain the non-stick surface in good condition use only utensils
2
which are intended for use with non-stick surfaces, such as wooden or
heat proof plastic items.
Never use metal utensils, as these will scratch the cooking surface.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the power supply.
3
Allow the appliance to cool then remove the power supply connector
from the appliance. Do not immerse the power supply connector in
4
water, instead wipe over if necessary with a piece of absorbent paper or
wipe with a barely damp cloth. The WOK and lid can be fully immersed
5
in water - wash in warm soapy water using a mild household cleaner
and soft sponge. Dry thoroughly. Your WOK and lid are also
6
dishwasher safe.
If the WOK is very greasy, or there are baked-on patches of food, it may
7
be soaked for a short time in hot detergent to soften the patches.
