Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking
of the pan supports. This does not affect the
durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off
with a suitable metal cleaner.
The French cooktop
Caution
The French cooktop gets very hot in use and stays hot
for a long time after use.
Do not touch it unless you are certain it is cold
This is the cooking element preferred by
professionals, because of its great versatility.
One of its many advantages is that it recreates the
type of heat once provided by old cast-iron wood
and coal burners.
Nothing better has been invented since!
The front of the French cooktop should be level
with the front of the outer pan supports, with the
'Falcon' name at the front.
The cooktop should only be fitted over the centre
burner - don't try to use it over the outer burners.
Using the French cooktop
Light the centre burner as described in the
Hotplate section of these instructions.
Turn on your French cooktop before preparing your
ingredients, as a fifteen minute preheating time is
recommended.
The heat is evenly distributed, regular and
constant.
The generously sized cooking surface provides
variable cooking temperatures.
This means that you can work with 3 or 4 pans at
the same time, without having to manipulate the
knob.
Here are a few examples of how to use the French
cooktop:
Vegetables
Boil the salted water on one of the outer burners,
add your vegetables, and then continue to cook on
the French cooktop.
Sauces and Creams
Whisk with your saucepan in the middle; when
thickening begins, move your saucepan to the
edge, while continuing to mix.
Meat
After frying and browning pieces of meat over a
high flame, you can move them to the cooktop to
simmer and cook.
Contact between the French cooktop and your
cooking utensil is always uniform, ensuring a
perfectly even distribution of heat.
You can remove the French cooktop for cleaning;
see 'Cleaning your cooker' .
