The cooking plate is ideal for stoves installed into open-plan living areas where the boundaries of cooking, dining and lounging are merged. The set includes four cast iron trivets for versatility when cooking and the plate is available in two sizes; five or six inch outlet diameters to suit most Charnwood models in addition to the Island II.
Please note: the stove will need to be installed using the rear outlet to allow the cooking plate to be fitted on the stove top.

Ekol Apple Core or Baked Apple stove?
The Ekol Apple pie range of stoves are highly versatile with a range of accessories you can add to achieve your desired stove
It is important to note that when you add the oven to the apple stove it means the top plate only acts as a warming plate and does not get hot enough to boil a kettle. If you do want a stove with a hotplate, we recommend not having an oven with this range.

Cooking on your stove top
For Stove top cooking there are a few things to consider
Space
for more cooking space its is better to have the flue coming out of the back of the stove for more surface space
high temperature cook top
Traditional stoves or stoves with cook plate tops are ideal for cooking on direct heat with cast iron cookware.
Some modern stoves have been designed with Convector tops which means it will have a reduced temperature on the top plate. These will not give you the necessary temperatures to cook on top of the stove effectively.
