Preparing Stone Cookware for First Use:
These steps are performed only once to prepare the cookware and do not need to be repeated.
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F). Do not exceed this temperature.
-
Drying the Cookware:
Place the cookware in the oven for 15 minutes to remove any natural moisture and prepare the surface for oil.
-
Use Protection:
Carefully remove the cookware using gloves and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
-
Oiling the Cookware:
Generously coat the cookware inside and out, including the lid, with vegetable oil or fat.
-
Preparing Process:
Fill the cookware with warm water and place it back in the oven for two hours.
-
Cooling the Cookware:
Turn off the oven and allow the cookware to cool. Once cooled, wash it to remove excess oil.
Now the cookware is ready for use!
To prepare a dish or pizza tray, simply oil both sides and place it in the oven for one hour.
After processing, the stone will change color from gray to dark black while retaining its natural patterns.
You can repeat the process if you prefer a darker color. With daily use, the stone will gradually change color.
