The Fry-Top is composed of a special stainless steel plate (8mm thick), specially designed to have
temperatures evenly distributed over the whole surface so that you can utilise the complete
cooking surface. The plate also has hygienic advantages.
Another advantage is the high heat accumulation of the plate, with very low heat loss. To use
the appliance, light the flame below the plate by means of the corresponding knob (see
“Lighting the burners”) and ensure that the flame is burning.
Leave the knob in this position for about 10 minutes at the most and wait for the plate to heat
up. Once this period has elapsed, the plate is ready to start cooking.
By adjusting the flame, there is no limit to your culinary imagination. If you turn the knob to
minimum, you can do slow cooking or types of cooking in which you want to maintain the
organic properties of the foods. Higher temperatures are suitable for cooking meat, fish and
vegetables.
The Fry-Top plate is ideal for Japanese Tepanyaki cooking: the special lid needed for this type of
Oriental cooking is available as an optional accessory.
Some models are supplied with the spatula shown in above, which is useful for both cooking
and for cleaning the plate.
