Fry-top
The Fry Top is a multifunctional griddle on which
an enormous range of dishes can be prepared. A
DVD has been made about the Fry–Top so that
you can discover exactly how it works, what the
possibilities are, and how to clean it. This DVD
can be watched as streaming video on the web-
site, but will also be included with your range. If
the DVD has inadvertently not been included, you
can request a copy from Boretti.
Ignite the Fry–Top burner and select a low set-
ting. After 8 – 10 minutes the Fry–Top is ready
for use. Next, evenly spread a little oil on the grid-
dle (never use butter on the Fry–Top) after which
you can put the food directly onto the griddle. Fry-
ing will be slower on the Fry–Top, yet the dish will
not start to simmer. Because the food is seared
quickly, it loses less moisture.
Cleaning the Fry Top
When the food is ready, remove it from the Fry–
Top and pour a little water onto the Fry–Top before
leaving to enjoy your food. The water will soak any
food residues, which you can then scrape off with
the spatula included. It will make clean–up much
easier. Beware of steam that will rise from the
Fry–Top – it is hot! When the griddle has cooled
down almost completely, spray on a little Fry–Top
cleaner and scrub with the steel wool pad inclu-
ded. Finally, use a moist cloth and your Fry–Top
will be like new. If necessary, use a soft scrubbing
pad for the small nooks and crannies.
Coupe de Feu
The Coupe de Feu is made of solid cast iron, and
allows one or more pots or pans to be placed
directly onto the cooking surface. The plate is he-
ated by a sub–surface gas burner. The plate will
generate heat which is not too intense beneath
the pan, and will distribute it evenly across the
cooking surface. This makes it possible to cook
a dish slowly. This is especially useful for dishes
like sauces and braised dishes. Light the burner
approximately 5 minutes before use, so that the
cast iron plate will have plenty of time to heat
up. The same amount of time is needed for the
plate to cool down. The middle of the Coupe de
Feu is hottest, and the edges will be cooler. If you
require a more intense heat, you can also choose
to remove one or more rings. Without constantly
needing to adjust the knob, this allows you to de-
termine the amount of heat generated.
Caution: It is normal that the Coupe de Feu will
show a little surface rust after time. We recom-
mend regularly rubbing the Coupe de Feu with a
little oil to prevent this. The rings, or any other
cast iron parts, should never be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
