Electric Burners
The solid cast iron electric burners maintain consistent temperature and are ideal for slow cooking
and simmering. Once the temperature is selected the thermostat will cycle to maintain the
selected temperature.
Tips for Cooking on the Electric Burners
Choose well-insulated pans when cooking on these burners.
For slow cooking set the burner level to the lowest temperature.
Gas Lava Rock Grill
A large bag of lava rocks is provided with the La Cornue ranges configured with a grill. The cavity
below the grill should be filled with the rocks but not packed tightly. A piece of aluminum foil can also
be placed on the drip tray under the grill for easy clean up.
An indoor grill is a wonderful tool for light grilling. In addition to grilling meats, fish and vegetables
the grill can also be used to grill sandwiches and to make pizza, however there are some important
things to consider when grilling indoors.
Tips for Cooking with the Gas Grill
Always turn on the overhead ventilation prior to lighting the grill. Run the ventilation on low
speed to establish airflow and increase the speed when you are ready to grill.
Allow at least 15 minutes for the grill to heat.
Brush foods lightly with oil to avoid sticking before cooking.
Wait until meats release naturally before turning to create cross marks.
Generally the cooking time will be a little longer on the first side. For delicate items such as fish
turn the grill off when you turn the fish to avoid overcooking.
When cleaning the grill, run the ventilation on high speed then reduce it to low for 10 minutes for
effective extraction of grease and smoke.
