FAQ – Hot Stone

How do I prepare the hot stone? Preparation, cooking, and cleaning

Slowly heat the stone to 280–300 °C.

• Direct heat (grill, gas stove, fireplace, charcoal): approx. 30 min. warm-up time.
• Oven: approx. 60 min. warm-up time.

Cooking time afterwards: approx. 60 min. each.

How does the preparation work?

• Place the heated stone on the serving board.
• Lightly salt the meat or fish before placing it on the stone.
• Sear the meat briefly on both sides, then cut into bite-sized pieces and cook as desired.
• Blanch the vegetables beforehand, cut into thin slices, and place on the stone.
• Finally, desserts such as fruit, crêpes, or cheese can be prepared using the residual heat (approx. 200 °C).

How do I clean the hot stone?

• Never place it in cold water when hot – risk of cracking!
• Place the stone in lukewarm water with washing-up liquid and remove food residues with a cloth or sponge.
• Use steel wool or a pot scraper for stubborn encrustations.
• Wipe wooden parts with a damp cloth only; stainless steel and bowls are dishwasher-safe.
