Use of the Coup Feu
The large “Coup feu” solid cast iron plate made of concentric rings allows you to rest the pan
(or even several pans) directly on the surface (fig. B, C). it is heated by means of a gas burner (fig. A).
The plate is designed to provide a moderately intense heat which is well distributed over the surface.
This is ideal for slow cooking and particularly for sauces, browning and grilling, heating dishes or
keeping them warm. Switch the burner on 15/20 minutes before use to allow the cast iron plate
to accumulate heat. You will then be able to use the plate even when switched off for a further 10/15
minutes. The middle of the plate is the area where the highest temperatures are reached whereas the
outer part is cooler. By simply moving the pan from the middle to the outside of the plate, you can obtain
different cooking intensities without regulating the flame. Pan dimensions permitting, several dishes can be
cooked at the same time (fig. C). if necessary it can be used as a handy top, providing ample space for
resting pots and pans.
Cleaning the Coup Feu
The hotplate should be cleaned while still warm using the products normally used in the kitchen for metal
surfaces. Rub with a wire pad, following the direction of the satin finish. Dry well immediately. If you want
to give the plate a better appearance, after cleaning, apply a coat of Supercromo paste.
If you do not intend to use the hotplate for long periods, after normal cleaning apply a thin film of liquid
paraffin (Vaseline oil) with a wad of cotton wool. This treatment is necessary to prevent any formation of
surface oxides. When next turning on the plate you will notice the evaporation of the paraffin oil used. This
phenomenon will disappear in a few seconds. The hotplate may sometimes present surface oxidation due
to the presence of humidity, but above all due to lack of use. You are therefore advised to use it frequently
to prevent any oxidation. Never leave the hotplate damp. If the oxidation phenomenon still appears, use
lightly abrasive paper to remove it, taking care to rub gently, always in the direction of the plate satin finish.
Do not cook food directly on the plate surface. Always use suitable containers / cooking equipment.
