They are basically a type of griddle and are heated up and used to cook food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The old fashioned bake stone was made of cast iron.

An important step before using one is seasoning it, which means to add a natural non-stick coating. It also protects the surface of your bakestone and prevents rusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Seasoning Instructions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There is a protective oil coating on our bakestones, which needs to be removed before use. To do this, use an abrasive cleaning pad and washing up liquid to clean the cooking surface.<\/li><li>Heat up your bakestone. We recommend doing this outside on a portable stove or barbecue. If this isn\u2019t possible, make sure your kitchen is well ventilated as the bakestone will smoke.<\/li><li>Protect your hands with an oven glove and carefully rub a mixture of fat or vegetable oil and salt onto the cooking surface, using a thick cotton cloth.<\/li><li>Continue to add fat and salt, a tablespoon at a time, allowing it to burn and blacken. After around 20 minutes the bakestone should have gained a smooth black surface.<\/li><li>Turn off the heat and allow your bakestone to cool naturally.<\/li><li>Wash your bakestone with warm water, removing any remaining loose salt.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Your bakestone is now ready to be used!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Care Instructions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>After use, wipe your bakestone with warm, soapy water.<\/li><li>Dry and store in a dry place.<\/li><li>Never use abrasive cleaners.<\/li><li>If , after a long storage, rusting appears, simply clean it off and re-season.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve got any recipes you wish us to include or maybe YOU have a recipe you want to share with us then please drop us an email&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slate-house.co.uk\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter is about spending quality time with the family.
