Unlike thin disposable kitchen accessories, cast iron provides a reassuringly solid construction.
The material naturally has more weight than lightweight metals, helping create a substantial heating surface.
Always handle the plate carefully, particularly around delicate glass or ceramic hob surfaces, to avoid dropping, dragging or scratching.
Proper maintenance can help preserve your cast iron plate.
After use, allow the product to cool completely before attempting to handle or clean it.
Clean according to the manufacturer's recommendations and dry thoroughly before storage. Cast iron should not normally be left wet for extended periods, as moisture can encourage surface corrosion.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing extremely hot cast iron directly into cold water.
Store the plate in a clean, dry environment.
Cast iron can retain heat for a considerable period after the hob has been switched off.
Never assume the plate is cool simply because the heat source has been turned off.
Use appropriate heat-resistant protection when necessary and allow sufficient cooling time before touching, cleaning or storing the plate.
Keep children and pets away from the cooking area during and after use.
When not in use, the plate can be stored alongside other suitable cookware and hob accessories.
There are no electrical parts, batteries or complicated mechanisms to maintain.
Its simple construction means it's ready whenever you need an appropriate additional heating surface.
