The exclusive La Cornue burners

The La Cornue Château’s exclusive, solid brass burners offer peerless performance. Our large burner provides an exceptional 6 kW output, compared with 4 kW for the smaller ones.

In addition to their efficeincy, their range of settings is extensive and can be minutely adjusted, whilst our automatic ignition takes only one hand.

Your safety is ensured thanks to an integrated thermocouple and our cleverly designed pan supports allow even the very smallest of saucepans.



The french "black enamelled"
cast iron burner plaque

The famous cast iron burner plaque is indispensible to any cook worth their salt. It allows the unique flavour of longsimmered dishes that form the heart of traditional recipes to be wholly preserved.

Formerly using wood or coal, today it is a powerful, solid brass burner set in the centre of the thick, cast iron plaque that diffuses heat, gradually cooling from the centre outwards. This enables the use of several pans at a time, ensuring that each is in its optimum position.

Nothing rivals the burner plaque be it for simmering stews, reducing delicate sauces or simply wilting vegetables.



The teppan - yaki

The teppan-yaki is a Japanese technique that allows quick, precise cooking without the use of fats or oil. Specially chopped meat, poultry and seafood (as well as vegetables) are quickly seared, locking in their goodness and natural flavour.

La Cornue’s teppan-yaki comprises a thick, electrically heated aluminium plaque offering temperatures of up to 250°C. A broad groove in the plaque also allows the collection of any cooking juices.

The teppan-yaki opens up new, gourmet horizons for anyone who truly appreciates the subtleties of Asian cuisine.
