How to use

Before first use, clean the plate with warm water and dry thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat to create the initial seasoning layer. Place the plate on the grill or over the fire, preheat evenly until the surface reaches the desired cooking temperature, and then add food. For best results, maintain medium to high heat for searing and moderate heat for frying or delicate items. After cooking, let the plate cool slightly, scrape off residues with a scraper or spatula, rinse if necessary and dry completely. Reapply a light coat of oil after drying to protect the surface from corrosion during storage.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible utensils such as metal spatulas for turning and scraping, follow proper seasoning and cleaning routines, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the plate’s surface and performance. Store in a dry location between uses and re-season as needed to maintain a reliable cooking surface.
