USING THE SIMMER PLATE
The simmer plate (Figure 1) is intended to diffuse lower temperature of the burner to help
cooking delicate aliment such as chocolate, milk, bechamel, etc... It can also be use for
cooking sauce during long period. With the grate in position over the burner, set the simmer
plate on top of the grate positioning the notches in the simmer plate over the grate fingers
(See Figure 2) and then place the utensil on the simmer plate.
