5.2 තාප කළමනාකරණය

Due to its excellent heat conductivity, the wok heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly. Use medium to high heat for stir-frying. For simmering or braising, reduce heat as needed. Avoid using excessively high heat for prolonged periods, especially when the wok is empty, to prevent damage.

5.3 Recommended Cooking Methods

• Stir-Frying: Heat a small amount of oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add ingredients in batches to avoid overcrowding, stirring constantly until cooked.
• වාෂ්ප කිරීම: Use the glass lid to create a steaming environment. You can place a steaming rack (not included) inside the wok with a small amount of water at the bottom.
• Braising: Brown ingredients in the wok, then add liquid and cover with the glass lid to simmer until tender.

5.4 Using the Glass Lid

The glass lid allows you to monitor your cooking without lifting it, helping to retain heat and moisture. Use it for steaming, simmering, or keeping food warm.

6 රැකවරණය සහ නඩත්තුව

6.1 පිරිසිදු කිරීම

The WMF Macao Wok and its glass lid are dishwasher safe, making cleaning convenient. For best results and to maintain the shine of the Cromargan stainless steel, hand washing is also recommended:

• Allow the wok to cool completely before cleaning.
• උණුසුම් සබන් වතුරෙන් සහ මෘදු ස්පොන්ජියකින් හෝ රෙදි කඩකින් සෝදන්න.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the wok in warm soapy water for a period before cleaning.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain luster.

6.2 ගබඩා කිරීම

Store the wok and lid in a dry place. If stacking other cookware on top, consider using pan protectors to prevent scratches.

7. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

7.1 ආහාර ඇලවීම

As the wok is uncoated stainless steel, food may stick if not used correctly. Ensure the wok is properly preheated before adding oil and food. Use sufficient oil or fat. Avoid overcrowding the wok, which can lower the temperature and cause sticking.

7.2 Discoloration

Stainless steel cookware can sometimes develop blue or rainbow-like discoloration due to minerals in water or high heat. This is harmless and does not affect cooking performance. To remove, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water.
