Care Instructions:
· Cleaning: Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as they can strip the seasoning. Instead, clean the baking stone using warm water and a soft brush or cloth.
· Drying: Thoroughly dry the stone after washing to prevent rusting. You can place it on low heat for a few minutes to ensure it's completely dry.
· Seasoning Maintenance: After drying, apply a light layer of oil (such as vegetable oil) to the surface to preserve the seasoning and prevent rust. Store in a dry place.
· Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the baking stone in water for extended periods as it can cause rusting.
· Re-seasoning: If the surface becomes dull or food starts sticking, you may need to re-season it by applying oil and baking the stone in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for an hour.
Safety Precautions:
· Handling: Cast iron retains heat for a long time. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling the baking stone after use.
· Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: Do not subject the stone to sudden changes in temperature (e.g., placing it in cold water while hot) as this can cause cracking or warping.
· Use on Heat-Safe Surfaces: Ensure you place the hot baking stone on heat-safe surfaces to prevent damage to counter-tops or tables.
· Oven Safety: Safe for use in ovens, but ensure you preheat the stone gradually rather than placing it in a hot oven immediately.
