The large “Coup de Feu” solid cast iron plate made of concentric rings allows you to rest
the pan (or even several pans) directly on the surface (fig. B, C). It is heated by means of
a gas burner (fig. A). The plate is designed to provide a moderately intense heat which
is well distributed over the surface.
This is ideal for slow cooking and particularly for sauces, browning and grilling, heating
dishes or keeping them warm. Switch the burner on 15/20 minutes before use to allow
the cast iron plate to accumulate heat.
You will then be able to use the plate even when switched off for a further 10/15 minutes.
The middle of the plate is the area where the highest temperatures are reached where-
as the outer part is cooler. By simply moving the pan from the middle to the outside of
the plate, you can obtain different cooking intensities without regulating the flame. Pan
dimensions permitting, several dishes can be cooked at the same time (fig. C). If neces-
sary it can be used as a handy top, providing ample space for resting pots and pans.
The hotplate should be cleaned while still warm using the products normally used in the
kitchen for metal surfaces. Rub with a wire pad, following the direction of the satin finish.
Dry well immediately. If you want to give the plate a better appearance, after cleaning,
apply a coat of a specialist cleaning paste / cream.
The hotplate may sometimes present phenomena of surface oxidation due to the pre-
sence of humidity, but above all due to lack of use. You are therefore advised to use
it frequently to prevent any oxidation. Never leave the hotplate damp. If the oxidation
phenomenon still appears, use lightly abrasive paper to remove the oxidation, taking
care to rub gently, always in the direction of the plate satin finish.
Do not cook food directly on the plate surface. Always use suitable containers.
