3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 The most important

features of your hob

• The cooking surface has 2 layers of stainless steel with a layer of aluminium between them. It has a high thermal capacity, which prevents temperatures from quickly decreasing (e.g. when you prepare meat directly from the refrigerator). ENGLISH

• Each Teppan Yaki grill surface is unique because they are made by hand and grounded by grinding specialists. Differences in the grinding pattern are normal and do not cause problems in how the hob operates. The more you use your grill, the more valuable it looks.
• The groove around the edge: – Decreases the temperature of the installation surfaces, which lets you install the cooking surface into different types of kitchen worktops. – Absorbs some of the expansion of the heated cooking surface through its indentation. – Collects small food remnants and liquids which you can easily remove after cooking.

• The necessary temperature can be kept constant by the thermostat with a readable temperature setting. This prevents overheating of the food and permits low-fat cooking that keeps the nutritional values of the food.
• The food is heated directly on the cooking surface, with or without oil. There is also the option of cooking with pots or pans.
• The grill surface heats to a temperature of 180 °C in approximately 4 minutes. The temperature of the grill surface decreases from 180 °C to 100 °C in approximately 25 minutes, and to 60 °C in approximately 60 minutes.
• Always preheat the cooking surface before cooking.

5.1 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the roasting zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference in the operation time depends on the temperature setting and the length of the roasting.

5.2 Preparing food with the

Teppan Yaki You prepare the food directly on the roasting surface, with or without oil. You can also use pots or pans, but the cookware does not heat up as quickly as it does on a glass-ceramic hob or a gas hob. You can cook or keep warm side dishes or sauces in pots or pans. Put them directly on the cooking surface. Do not put cookware in the middle of the cooking surface between the zones, as the unevenness can make them unsteady. Frying on the surface, where the zones touch, can cause in uneven browning (e. g. with pancakes).
