SEASON THE FRENCH TOP

•

The French top is shipped with a protective oil coating

the surface, use hot water and detergent to clean.

Rinse and dry.

•

Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using

the French top.

•

The French top needs to go through a “burn in” period.

Turn on the French top for 30 minutes to clean oils

from the bottom side of the surface. After 30 minutes,

turn the French top off and allow it to cool.

•

To season, spread a light coating of peanut or

vegetable oil on a towel or cloth. While surface is still

slightly warm, apply oil evenly until it is absorbed into

the cast iron. Be careful not to apply too much oil.

Excess oil will leave a gummy residue that will have to

be removed.

•

It is normal for the cast iron to darken with use to a

bluish-black color.

When this seasoning technique is applied correctly, food

spatters will not stain and the surface will be protected

from moisture. Its appearance darkens with use, a sign

that the French top has been fully tempered and is

properly seasoned. Regular maintenance will become

easier.

French Top

The optional French top provides a graduated cooking

surface with the hottest temperature under the center

plate and the lowest temperature near the edges. This

design makes it possible to use several pans at once for a

variety of cooking tasks. For example, fry chicken toward

the center, while simmering a sauce in one corner and

keeping vegetables warm in a different corner. Place the

pan or pans toward the edge according to their contents

and quantity. Refer to the illustrations below.

The cooking surface is made of polished cast iron that is

an excellent heat conductor. The rings allow for the solid

surface to expand with the heat while remaining flat. The

rings also provide thermal breaks in the cast iron that

distribute heat in a graduated intensity, hottest in the

center and coolest around the edges.

To protect the cast iron surface from moisture, it is

necessary to “season” the French top prior to use. This

seasoning process as well as general use will change the

appearance of the French top.
