Cooking with the salt brick
A heated salt brick can be used at the dining table to cook small pieces of fish or meat. For larger pieces, the salt stone can be used in or on the heat source directly.
The salt stone can be heated in different ways and keeps the temperature for about 20 minutes.
- BBQ/gas grill
Start heating the salt stone with a low temperature. After 30 minutes, the heat can be increased and after about 45 minutes the stone is ready for use.
- Oven
The salt stone can also be used in the oven but it must not be preheated, as there is a risk of the salt stone cracking. Increase the heat to 60°C, and then increase the temperature every 20 minutes for 1 hour. Max temp: 180°C.
Refrigerated Salt Stone
Place the salt stone in the freezer and after about 30 minutes it is ready to serve on carpaccio, sushi or sashimi. Even cold desserts can be served on a cooled salt stone.
Care
After the salt stone has cooled, it should be rinsed and dried thoroughly. Due to the antibacterial properties of salt, no detergent is needed. Too much water causes growing cracks in the stone and should therefore never be placed in a dishwasher. Let the salt stone dry thoroughly before next use (about 24h). Extra information: Salt melts at 800°C.
