USE - THE GAS BURNER
THE VERY FAST BURNER has a power rating of 3,5 kW :
Use the large burner for bringing to the boil, for cooking large quantities, and generally for all
foods requiring rapid cooking.
THE SEMI-FAST BURNER has a power rating of 1,75 kW :
It is ideal for stewing, sauces and slow cooking.
The pan support is working as Mijorose when the burner 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 flame heat directly the pan allowing all cookings on quick gas.

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.
RECOMMENDATIONS : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply
tap should always be turned off.
