Three ovens and three grills. Versatile 1000mm 5-burner cook's stove. Highly valued by chefs because of their fast heating and ease of use, gas flame burners have always been the traditional heat source for cooking in large kitchens. Lacanche gas hobs for cook's stoves are fitted with burners of different ratings. These automatically stabilised flame burners offer a very low setting to facilitate simmering or high heat for quick sealing.

Electric grill ovens are simple to use and are ideal for cooking all unusual dishes. Fitted with three heating elements the electric grill can be used to heat the oven or as a grill. It is intended primarily for cooking quiches, pizzas and flans. In grill mode it is perfect for finishing off a crème brulee or for putting the finishing touch to a dish with a grated cheese topping. In cook mode, dishes are lightly browned by heat refracted from the top of the oven. The confined space inside the oven enables it to heat up quickly and reduces pre-warming time.

Conventional oven with grill. Can be used both as a roasting oven and a grill.

Forced convection oven is particularly suitable for cooking cakes, pastries, Viennese bread or flaky pastry. It heats quickly and defrosts frozen food evenly.

Cormatin

Large 74 litre convection oven with integrated grill and storage drawer below. The 700mm Cormatin has a gas top that features a heating plate. This plate is made from polished cast iron and is heated by a high-power burner. It can be used as a work surface and several pans can be placed on it at the same time.

Cast iron stores and retains heat uniformly over its entire surface and it is possible to cook or simmer dishes depending on the temperature. Using the heating plate is ideal for cooking a pot au feu, coq au vin, warming a veal or fish stock or even binding a sauce.

The central ring can be taken off for open-flame cooking. In addition to the heating plate there are two conventional gas burners.

The forced convection oven is a recent development in cooking techniques. Air circulation is achieved by using two turbines inside the oven. Forced convection ovens have many advantages, the main benefit being that identical or different dishes can be cooked evenly and simultaneously without taste transference because odours are destroyed as the air passes over the heating element.

The grill cooks very quickly, always keep an eye on the food you are cooking. When grilling, the door must be closed and only opened to inspect the food and then closed again.
