4. Operating Instructions

The Oster DiamondForce Electric Wok offers precise temperature control for a variety of cooking tasks.

Using the Temperature Probe:

1. After inserting the temperature probe, plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to your desired heat setting. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the wok is heating.
3. The indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached and will cycle on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature.
4. For best results, allow the wok to preheat for 5-10 minutes before adding food.

Cooking Recommendations:

• Stir-Frying: Use high heat settings (e.g., 350°F - 400°F) for quick and even cooking of vegetables and meats.
• Sautéing: Medium-high heat (e.g., 300°F - 350°F) is ideal for sautéing vegetables or searing smaller cuts of meat.
• Pan-Frying: Adjust temperature as needed for pan-frying dishes, typically in the medium range (e.g., 250°F - 300°F).
• The DiamondForce nonstick coating ensures easy food release, requiring minimal oil or butter.
