In addition to its "cooking" and simmering function, it can be used to obtain high heat for
your large-size cooking utensils, by removing the disc from the middle (for fish poachers,
wok or jam basins, for example).
Do not use maximum heat for prolonged periods, as this could cause the back splash to
deform.
With use, your simmering plate will become even more beautiful as it develops its natural
patina.

The lava rocks
This should be done by placing a saucepan of water on top, then waiting
about 15 minutes until the lava rocks turn grey, or take on a reddish glow.
You can brush your fish or meat with a little oil, before placing it on the
grill.
Adjust the heat depending on the thickness of the meat or fish: maximum
heat is rarely necessary.
Some food, such as seafood or veal cutlets, can be cooked on a lower setting.
Don't forget the wonderful "visual" effect that is obtained when cooking
on the barbecue grill.
To produce an appetising latticework effect, turn your meat over twice,
rotating it through 90° each time.
Induction hob
induction hob uses
Your
ordinary hobs to create rapid heat.
With the control buttons at the front of the hob, you control the electric sup-
ply, which creates a magnetic field. This field induces currents in the base of
the pan placed on the hob.
These currents, called "induction currents", instantly heat the pan which
passes on its heat to the food it contains.
The heat is produced directly inside the pan. Therefore the cooking is done
with practically no energy loss between the induction hob and the food. The
appliance's heating power is used to its full.
By removing the pan from the induction hob, or simply turning the hob off
with the control buttons, you instantly stop the cooking.
