Lacanche accessories fall into three groups. There are optional hob elements built into the cooktop of specified Lacanche range cookers, cookware that sits over the existing gas burners, and classic pan racks for the wall. Some suit owners adding to a cooker they already have. Others are best planned as part of the hob layout when you choose a new range from Lacanche cooking.
The integrated hob elements cover very different styles of cooking. Gas options include a 5 kW wok burner, a pair of 3 kW burners, a pair of 4 kW burners and a 4 kW gas chargrill. On the electric side, there is a lava stone chargrill with 2.5 kW thermostatically controlled elements and an adjustable-height grill for mild barbecue flavour whatever the weather. There is also a plancha griddle, a 6 litre fryer with a draining cock, and a multi cooker that works as a steamer, pasta boiler or bain marie. Finally, an induction top adds two rings of quick, responsive heat beside the gas. Check where each one can go: the fryer and multi cooker cannot sit above a gas oven or simmer ovens, the gas chargrill cannot go above gas, electric or conventional ovens, and the induction top cannot be fitted next to a simmer plate.
Other pieces simply sit over a pair of gas burners. The heavily built ridged griddle plate is made for high heat and gives striped steaks, chops and grilled vegetables. The enamelled cast iron smooth griddle suits eggs, breakfasts and Welsh cakes. Because each of its two burners can be adjusted separately, you can set hotter and cooler areas. The simmer plate spreads burner heat across a solid surface where pans can be moved between warmer and gentler zones, much like a traditional solid hob. A stainless steel trivet lets small pans and coffee pots sit over the burners.
The classic pan rack is a stainless steel rail with brass or chrome brackets, supplied with five hooks, with more hooks available. Widths run from 70 cm to 220 cm. To choose, measure the cooker or the Lacanche cooker hoods it will hang near, then pick the bracket finish that suits your other fittings. For the full picture, browse all Lacanche products.
