(1) Before using your Hot Stone for the first time, clean with soap and water and dry thoroughly.
(2) Each time before use, place the Hot Stone in the wire holder and put into a cool oven. Heat to 450° for 20 - 30 minutes.
(3) Place alcohol burners onto burner stand and fill with 70% isopropyl alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol). If you are having trouble lighting the burners try warming up the bottle of alcohol in warm water to get it above room temperature before filling and lighting burners.
(4) Light the burners. Adjust the burners by sliding the handle to the right and left until the burners burn without noticeable smoke. Estimated burning time for full burners is 70 minutes. Periodically check adjustment.
(5) Be sure to use heavy, heat-protective gloves or pads whenever handling the heated Hot Stone. All surfaces of the Hot Stone and wire rack will be extremely hot and may burn anything it comes in contact with. Place the heated Hot Stone and holder on to the burner stand. Heat the Hot Stone for 10 minutes with the burners before starting to cook on it.
(6) If desired, sprinkle a small amount of course salt on the grill before grilling each time. Grease the top (side with groove) of the Hot Stone with a small amount of salad oil or cooking spray.
(7) Now your cookin’.... Most anything is suitable for cooking.... meat, fish, vegetables, etc. Let your imagination and good taste take over. If neither is available, check out the tried and true recipes.
(8) After using, allow stone to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) then wash the Hot Stone with soapy warm water using the Hot Stone Cleaning Tool (Not Included), scrub pad or scraping device.
(9)The appearance of thin cracks in the stone is normal and will not affect the strength or function of the Hot Stone.
