USING THE SIMMER PLATE

The Simmer Plate has been specfically designed for simmering and holding food at
the lowest safe temperature. It can be used for cooking sauces long periods of
time, or melting chocolate. With the grate in position over the burner, set the
simmer plate on top of the grate, centering the plate over the grate fingers (See
Figure 11). Then place the utensil on the simmer plate.
The Simmer Plate is to be used by setting the burner to its lowest setting. The
Simmer Plate is intended to be used for simmering only. The Simmer Plate must
be removed when cooking.

Always place the simmer plate on the grate before turning on the burner.
Always use potholders to remove the simmer plate from the grate. Allow the simmer
plate to cool before removing. Do not set hot simmer plate on surfaces that cannot
withstand high heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the simmer plate is positioned correctly and stable before use to prevent hot
spills and possible burns.
