6For most cooking, start on the highest controlsetting and then turn to a lower one to completethe process. Use the chart below as a guide fordetermining proper flame size for various typesof cooking. The size and type of utensil used andthe amount of food being cooked will influence thesetting needed for cooking.For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjustthe surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is toocool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. Ifthe fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly thatthe center will be undercooked. Do not attempt todeep fat fry too much food at once as the food willneither brown nor cook properly.The color of the flame is the key to proper burneradjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardlyvisible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flameshould be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or cleanburner if flame is yellow-orange.
