5.9 First Light-up For Cooking
-
Ensure that you have burnt the fire 2-3 times for curing the paint of the appliance.
-
Clean the cast iron plate and the grill with hot soapy water to remove any oil or residue from the
packaging or manufacturing process. Wash with clean water and let them dry naturally.
-
After lighting the fire, let the plates warm up slowly for 30 minutes, gradually increasing the heat.
You will notice slight vapors rise from the plates; this is natural as residues are burnt off.
-
Remove the cooking tray with the plate and grill. Let them cool down slightly.
-
The plates can now be prepared with the addition of cooking oil. Take care that the plates are not
at a temperature where adding the oil will cause a hazard. Brush the oil over the plate and the
grill, allowing the oil to be absorbed into the surface. Allow the plates and the grill to fully cool,
then remove any excess oil. Now, the plates will be ready for cooking.
