La Cornue Centenaire, Instructions For Use Manual

The snack griddle requires a preheating time of 10 minutes. Preheat the griddle to the requi-
red temperature (depending on the food to be cooked). Simply set the pre-heating tempera-
ture as desired, but remember that maximum setting is not always practical.
You can brush the food to be cooked with a little cooking oil, before placing it on the griddle.
Avoid putting oil directly onto the griddle, as it can be difficult to clean off.
If your snack griddle is an accessory, place it over two burners regulated to the same intensity,
but never on the maximum position.
The lava rocks
of the barbecue grill
require pre-heating.
This should be done by placing a saucepan of water on top, then waiting about 15
minutes until the lava rocks turn grey, or take on a reddish glow.
You can brush your fish or meat with a little oil, before placing it on the grill.
If you have
a gas barbecue grill,
adjust the heat depending on the thickness
of the meat or fish: maximum heat is rarely necessary.
Some food, such as seafood or veal cutlets, can be cooked on a lower setting.
Don't forget the wonderful "visual" effect that is obtained when cooking on the
snack griddle or barbecue grill.
To produce an appetising latticework effect, turn your meat over twice, rotating it through 90°
each time.
Ceramic hobs - radiant elements
The ceramic hob is composed of two burners:
- a single-circuit plate, 14.5 cm dia-meter, with a power of 1 200 W;
- a double-circuit plate, 11 cm dia-meter, with 700 W power in the centre. When both
circuits are used together, a total of 1 700 W ensures a 18 cm diameter cooking area.
The power of the single or double burner is set by positioning the knob to a number
between 1 to 6.
