Maintaining the solid plates
o
If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed
using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
o
To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little
olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface of the
plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little
smoke.
o
Alternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products
can normally be found at larger supermarkets and hardware
stores. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when
using these products.
o
IMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained
regularly with olive oil or a hotplate conditioner, then they
may rust.
