Before using your hotplate for the rst time, we
recommend that you prime and season it.
To prime the Hotplate
Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without
a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a
medium tohighsetting for 3 –5 minutes. A non
toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it
to cool, then season.
To season the Hotplate
First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium
setting, and then switch off. Pour a minimal amount
of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or
paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the
hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat
the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
Occasional seasoning will help to maintain the
Hotplate’s appearance.
