8. ADVICE FROM CHEFS

To preserve the non-stick quality of the cooking plates, do not let them remain heated and not in use for too long and do not use abrasives to clean.

Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to turn your food and avoid cutting it on the plates.

Cut the food evenly to obtain even cooking.

With practice, you will become accustomed to the cooking times and settings necessary to cook food to taste.

Prepare spice-based marinades or condiments for your meat or fish; grilled foods will be fragrant and flat-cooked foods more tender.

If you grilled fish or shellfish on the plates, rub a little lemon juice on them with a cloth, this will prevent the characteristic odour from remaining on the plates the next time you use them.
