The fry-top (fig. 14) consists of a stainless-steel plate, suitable for contact with food
[
] with a uniformity of temperature on the cooking surface and with a very low heat
loss. To use the appliance, light the flames of the two burners below the plate by means
of the corresponding knobs (
see “Lighting the burners”
) and ensure that there is a
flame. Ensure both burners underneath are lit for a consistent heat distribution. Turn the
knob to maximum for about 10 minutes and wait for the plate to heat up. Once this time
has elapsed, the plate is ready to start cooking.
By adjusting the flame, there is no limit to your culinary imagination. If you turn the con-
trol knob to the low setting, this allows slow cooking. Higher temperatures are suitable
for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. The Fry-Top plate is ideal for Oriental cooking
with an optional accessory (cloche) needed for this type of cooking.
Some models are supplied with the spatula shown in figure 15, which is useful both for
cooking and for cleaning the plate.
It is recommended to clean the plate thoroughly at the end of each cooking session.
With the plate hot and the flame at minimum, remove the cooking residue using the
scraper provided (fig. 15). Pour a little water onto the plate and, still using the scraper,
continue cleaning the plate. Once the water has completely evaporated, repeat the
same operation even several times until the desired result is obtained. It is extremely
important to clean the plate when it is quite hot.
The black enamel flue may be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked with a solution of
lukewarm water and ammonia. Rinse and dry after cleaning.
