Gourmet plate

Use

The gourmet plate gets extremely hot when in use. Always use oven gloves when handling it to avoid burns. Place it on a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

Before using for the first time

Before using the gourmet plate for the first time, fill it with 400 ml water and add 3-4 tbsps vinegar or lemon juice. Heat for 10 minutes on 450 W + Grill L.

The gourmet plate has an easy to clean anti-stick coating so that food can be removed easily. The coating is susceptible to cuts and scratches. Therefore do not cut food up directly on the plate.

Use wooden or plastic utensils to mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp objects can damage the coating.

Searing/browning food

^When using the gourmet plate, make sure that the food is ready to transfer to the gourmet plate as soon as it has heated up.

^Place the gourmet plate directly on the turntable.

Do not place it on the rack as this could cause sparking and damage the gourmet plate.

^Heat the plate up on 450 W + Grill L for approx. 5 minutes.

If using oil, you can either heat up the oil on the gourmet plate, or you can heat the oil separately and then add it to the plate.

Butter, however, should always be added after heating up the gourmet plate. It has a lower burning point than oil and would get too dark or burn if added too soon.

Always dry meat, poultry, fish and vegetables thoroughly before placing them on the gourmet plate.

Do not use the gourmet plate to cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs. The eggs can burst.
