How to heating the steak stone

The steak stone used in all steak stones products is guaranteed to be the best available product from which to enjoy hot stone cooking.     The stones require heating to between 280~350°Celsius (approx 540~660°Fahrenheit) for optimal use and you will soon find the perfect temperature for you to enjoy your steak,exactly as you like.     Heating your steak stone can be achieved in the oven in 40 mins,under the grill in 30~40 mins ,on the hob or stove - either gas or electric - for 20~30 mins or even on the barbecue.       Neeedless to say the stone will not go up higher than the maximum  heat of the chosen method so,for example,a stone left in a 240°C oven for 3 hours will still only heat to 240°C,so if this is the limit of your oven,one of the other methods will give you a little more sizzle.

To check whether the stone is hot enough following heating,place a teaspoon of water carefully on the centre of the stone.     If the stone is fully heated this will instantly sizzle and visibly evaporate after 10 seconds.     If this does not happen you can continue heating for a further 5 minutes and repeat the sizzle test.     Your steak stone can't be overheated using standard household ovens,but we don't recommend exposure to direct heat i.e.Gas or electric hobs,for longer than 40 mins.

                                                                    How to use the steak stone

Step one:    Before using,hand wash your steak stone in warm and soapy water and allow it dry.

Step two:    The stone should be heated as per the guidelines above before each using.

Step three:   Once heated,we recommend a very light coating of cooking oil is applied to the stone.      We find rubbing it on with some kitchen towel to be the best way,but please be careful not to touch the heated stone.

Step four:    The stone is then ready to be placed safely into the steel tray which should already be placed in the bamboo base.     Please remove any protective sheet from the steel before using.

Step five:    We strongly recommend the steak stone oven gloves for safe handling of your steak stone.      If not using these,please ensure your oven gloves are suitable for handling the stone to whatever temperature you choose to heat it.

Step six:    Once the stone is ready and you have prepared any accompanying sides and sauces,place your chosen selection of meat,fish or vegetables on the heated stone and it will instantly begin to sizzle.    The dry heat will sear the outside of your chosen cut,meaning that it will not cook through too quickly.

Step seven:    If you like your steak more well done,you can cut into smaller pieces and these will begin to cook through as you turn them.     However,if you like your steak rare,the main steak will stay rare on the inside for up to 20mins allowing you to enjoy every mouthful exactly as you like,with every last bite as hot and delicious as the first.

Step eight:    A fully heated stone will stay sizzling hot for around 20~30 mins and will still be cooking 40~50 minutes after serving and too hot to handle without oven gloves for over an hour.

Step nine:    In addition to cooking the produce placed on a sizzling hot stone,your steak stone can be used for presenting food at any temperature from freezing cold to sizzling hot or anywhere in between,making them ideal for presenting and keeping food at its intended temperature for longer than standard presentation methods.
