GAS SURFACE BURNERS
Highly valued by chefs because of their fast heating and ease of use, gas flame burners have always been traditional heat
sources for cooking in large kitchens. Other heat sources have appeared in recent years but just as many users still prefer
gas. It offers many advantages; gas provides a fast increase in temperature. The height of the flame can be checked easily at
a glance in order to increase or reduce its power.
Lacanche gas hobs for cook’s stoves are fitted with burners of different ratings. These automatically stabilized flame
burners offer a very low slow setting to facilitate simmering or high heat for quick sealing. Depending on their rating, they
are suitable for various types of utensils.
Semi fast burner : is recommended for small sauceboats, small saucepans or blinis pans for example. A reducing adapter
can be placed on the pan support in order to obtain greater stability (§ accessories)
Fast and intensive burners : are ideal for shallow frying pans, saucepans and cooking pots. Their high output provides very
fast increases in temperature and very flexible use.
Ultra fast burner : is a high-power burner. It is especially recommended when using large utensils up to 40 cm in diameter
for slow cooked dishes (pot au feu, cassoulet, jams, etc.) or dishes that have to be sealed quickly (fricassees, fritters, grilled
meat).
You will quickly learn how to use the various types of burners to achieve optimum cooking.
Description :
The burners are arranged on a stainless steel hob in various configurations depending on the model. Each burner is
equipped with electric ignition.

HEATING PLATE
DANGER: Temperature may exceed 300 °C.
Warn potential users of hazards involved.
T
he heating plate is a cast iron plate heated by a high-power gas burner. It can be used as a work surface and several
saucepans can be placed on it at the same time.
Cast iron stores and retains heat uniformly over its entire surface and it is possible to cook or simmer dishes depending on
the temperature. Using the heating plate is ideal for cooking a pot au feu, coq au vin, warming a veal or fish stock or even
binding a sauce.
By removing the central plug of the plate, the burner can be used as a traditional flame burner. “TRADITION” type gas
hobs are equipped with a heating plate.
Description :
The heating plate is made entirely of cast iron. It consists of two parts, the main part rests directly on the cooking surface
and the other removable plug part is located in the middle of the plate.
