THE ULTRA-RAPID BURNER or "4 RINGS" BURNER, power rating 3,5 kW :
use this burner for bringing to boil, for cooking large quantities, and generally for all foods
requiring rapid cooking.
THE FAST BURNER, power rating 2,5 kW :
use the large burner for all foods requiring rapid cooking.
THE SEMI-FAST BURNER, power rating 1,75 kW or THE AUXILIARY BURNER, power
rating 1kW :
it is ideal for stewing, sauces and slow cooking.
The pan supports fitted on the 1,75 kW burners are working as Mijorose when the burner
is set on low rate.
On the slow setting, the flame only comes into contact with the cast iron burner cap. This
is ideal for slow cooking, as the heat is evenly distributed under the pan and food doesn't
dry out or stick to the bottom of the pan.
On the high position, the flames heat directly the pan allowing all cookings on quick gas.
For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the dimensions given below :
* Ultra-rapid or "4 Rings"
Ø 18 cm and more
* Rapid
Ø 16 to 18 cm
* Semi-fast
Ø 12 cm
* Auxiliary
Ø 10 cm
SOME TIPS ....
• Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
• Centre the pan on the "pan support".
• Do not place the same pan on two burners.
• Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact,
it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.
• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.
• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.
WARNING :
. when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be
turned off.
. the use of a steak-grid is forbidden. The high temperatures reached on the hob
surface will give to the glass a thermic shock which will lead to an irreversible
brittleness.
