Gas Burners
High heat burners are one of the most sought after features in modern appliances and the powerful
sealed burners of the La Cornue range provide up to 22,000 BTU’s some of the highest available.
These high heat burners are ideal for searing, sautéing and bringing liquids to a boil. The ideal tools
for simmering are the plaque, induction and electric burners.
The thermocouple ignition system used by La Cornue is an important safety feature, which prevents
gas escape if the knobs are accidentally turned on. To light the burner, press the knob in and turn it
to the high flame symbol, within 3 seconds the thermocouple will be heated and you can release the
knob without the flame going out.
Tips for Cooking on the Gas Burners
Choose the burner size appropriate for the size pan you are using.
Heat the pans over moderate heat and increase the heat when you are ready to begin cooking.
Use the high heat burners in conjunction with the plaque, sear or begin cooking on the high heat
burners then move the food to the plaque to finish the cooking process.
Burner caps must be locked in position in order for the burner to ignite.
