French Top

The optional French top provides a graduated cooking surface with the hottest temperature under the center plate and the lowest temperature near the edges. This design makes it possible to use several pans at once for a variety of cooking tasks. For example, fry chicken toward the center, while simmering a sauce in one corner and keeping vegetables warm in a different corner. Place the pan or pans toward the edge according to their contents and quantity. Refer to the illustrations below.

The cooking surface is made of polished cast iron that is an excellent heat conductor. The rings allow for the solid surface to expand with the heat while remaining flat. The rings also provide thermal breaks in the cast iron that distribute heat in a graduated intensity, hottest in the center and coolest around the edges.

To protect the cast iron surface from moisture, it is neces- sary to “season” the French top prior to use. This season- ing process as well as general use will change the appearance of the French top.

SEASON THE FRENCH TOP

The French top is shipped with a protective oil coating the surface, use hot water and detergent to clean. Rinse and dry.

Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the French top.

The French top needs to go through a “burn in” period. Turn on the French top for 30 minutes to clean oils from the bottom side of the surface. After 30 minutes, turn the French top off and allow it to cool.

To season, spread a light coating of peanut or vegetable oil on a towel or cloth. While surface is still slightly warm, apply oil evenly until it is absorbed into the cast iron. Be careful not to apply too much oil. Excess oil will leave a gummy residue that will have to be removed.

It is normal for the cast iron to darken with use to a bluish-black color.

When this seasoning technique is applied correctly, food spatters will not stain and the surface will be protected from moisture. Its appearance darkens with use, a sign that the French top has been fully tempered and is properly seasoned. Regular maintenance will become easier.
