1. For fast, flash cooking: Wok burner flame

With even and intense heat, the wok burner flame will cook up tastier and more flavourful stir-fry dishes. Its high-pressure heat directed at the vessel of cooking in a short period of time ensures that every wok or pan heats up fast and remains hot for the perfect char or sear of meat and vegetables.

To test whether your wok or pan is hot enough, employ the “water test”: Deposit a few droplets of water onto the pan or wok and watch as the water droplets start to bounce on the surface. If it’s hot enough, the droplets will sizzle off to a clean evaporation.

Used for: Searing steak, stir-frying, deep-frying and steaming

2. For even, intense heat: Rapid burner flame

The rapid burner flame cooks like its name – it rapidly gets hot and stays hot to evenly cook ingredients to thorough perfection. With its double ring of fire, it heats up pans and pots quickly while using energy more efficiently, allowing and maintaining good heat distribution for uniformed cooking of the food.

Used for: To start the soup boiling, boiling water or medium heat cooking

3. For steamy, hot boilers: Small Burner flame

The small burner flame that directs heat from a single source and ring is meant for low heat cooking and heating up small volumes of liquids with more efficient gas consumption.

Its low heat also helps preserve the natural integrity of the food for better retention of nutrients, textures, and tastes through heat that will envelop the vessel and food in careful balance.

Used for: Poaching and extended simmer or heat up food/soup

4. For long, slow simmers: Inner ring flame

The inner ring fire helps to reduce energy consumption by heating the hob or wok evenly, gently distributing the heat from the middle. For lovers of double-boiled soups or carefully stewed delicacies, it consumes less gas and has higher energy efficiency compared to other types of flame for flavourful, tender and well-stewed soups and stews each time.

Used for: Stew, braised meats or double boil soups
