Cooking
Cooking directly on the sear plate
Oil the surface of the sear plate where you will be cooking. Place seasoned meat, vegetables
or seafood directly onto the sear plate and cook to the preferred doneness. The portion of
sear plate nearest to the burn pit will be the hottest. The farther away from the center, the
cooler the sear plate will be.
Cooking on the grill
Using the grill to cook directly over the open wood will impart a greater wood-fired flavor.
It is recommended to allow the fire to burn down somewhat to prevent open flames from
contacting the meat. An open flame can quickly burn your meal. Because the grill is made
of 304 stainless steel it does not have to be oiled in order to prevent rusting but wiping it
will oil will help prevent food from sticking.
Cooking in a cast iron skillet or pan
Use the sear plate or grill of Le BOL to heat a cast iron skillet or pan. Stew, paella and other
dishes that require a rimmed pan are delicious on Le BOL.
Cooking on cedar planks
Foods traditionally cooked on a cedar plank (such as salmon or trout) can also be cooked
on Le BOL. Simply allow Le BOL to heat up as normal and place the soaked cedar plank
directly on the sear plate with the food on top. Smaller planks are recommended to prevent
them from bowing due to heat.
