13. Cooking suggestions

13.1 Suggestions for using the hob burners correctly

The diameter of the base of cooking recipients
should fit the diameter of the burner used (see
adjacent table). The burner flame must never be
wider than the diameter of the recipient. Use
recipients with a flat base. Where possible use
pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be
used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables,
potatoes, etc., use little water.

13.2 Suggestions for using the deep fryer correctly

Do not add salt or spices to food while the basket is still positioned above the frying vat, as the oil
or fat would be altered, jeopardising the flavour of subsequent fries.
For large quantities of food, we recommend removing the basket from the frying vat every 1-2
minutes, so that the frying liquid can return to the preset temperature more quickly. The food to be
fried must always be covered by the frying liquid. Should this not be possible (with chicken for
instance), turn it half way through cooking.
At the end of the cooking, remove any food residue from the frying liquid. If, despite the correct
temperature setting, the food is not crisp and the frying liquid is dark, it should be replaced by
carefully following the instructions given in section " 14.8.1 Discharging the frying liquid".
In order to avoid the dangerous combustion of the frying liquid, do not activate the open
burners near the deep fryer.

13.3 Suggestions for using the fry-top / steak grill correctly

The fry-top griddle is smooth, whereas the steak grill is lined and can be used to obtain the typical
rhomboidal pattern together with the delicious flavour of barbecue cooking.
Foods cooked on the fry-top/steak grill have a special taste that does not require the excessive use
of spices. It is possible to cook in different ways. For example, different foods, such as meat and
fish, can be cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with
flavoured oil or marinating it for a few hours.
A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices do not come
out prematurely.

13.4 Suggestions for using the volcanic rock grill correctly

Cooking food on the cast iron grill creates a considerable quantity of smoke. Sometimes, while
cooking very fatty meat, small flames may appear similar to those seen during barbeque cooking
(see section 9.2 for how to solve this problem). Before placing fish on the grill, we recommend
greasing it slightly with oil or melted butter. This will stop the fish sticking to the surface of the grill.
The appliance can also be used in the same way as an "open burner", which is ideal for
simmering. Only use multi-function pans whose dimensions are compatible with the cooking
surface of the cast iron grill. This type of cooking is ideal for: beef stews, grilled pork, blanquette,
rabbit with beer, tongue (see instructions in section 9.2).
