THE HOT PLATE BURNER
The hot plate enables you to use large cooking vessels or to cook several dishes at the same
time. It is more powerful than a normal gas burner and allows you to :
- simmer for long periods without having to watch the food.
- to keep food hot without burning it.
- to prepare special sauces without using a "bain-marie".
- Steak griddle.
- Left open for Wok cooking.
Depending on the dish that you are preparing, you can either adjust the burner or change the
position of the cooking vessel on the hot plate, the centre being the hottest, and cooler areas
nearer the outer edges.
