Use
The Baking Steel is suited to many types of baking and frying. It can be used in grills, in an electric oven and over an open flame. The Baking Steel heats up quickly and endures extremely high temperatures. As the entire product is made of high-quality hot-rolled steel, you don’t need to worry about damaging any coating. Before first use, wash the Baking Steel with a small amount of washing-up liquid and dry it with a paper towel or similar immediately after washing.
Baking pizza
Place the Baking Steel in a cold oven or grill to let it warm up as the oven or grill heats up. Depending on the source of the heat and other conditions, the Baking Steel will heat up in about 10 minutes. You can check the surface temperature of the Baking Steel with a surface thermometer. The best temperature for baking a crispy pizza crust is about 300°C. Place the pizza onto the Baking Steel using a pizza peel or baking paper. Bake the pizza until the cheese has melted and the edge of the pizza is crisp. When the pizza is ready, use the pizza peel to transfer it to a heat-resistant surface.
Other baking and frying
For a great sear, particularly with meat, we recommend seasoning the product before first use and repeating the seasoning process every now and then. Heat up the Baking Steel on a gas burner, in an oven or on embers. Apply a thin and even layer of Muurikka Silava Frying Fat or oil over the entire surface of the Baking Steel. Make sure that the layer is not too thick as it may burn instead of setting into the steel. Apply a few layers of fat, allowing the previous layer to set before adding more. The fat will darken and dry onto the Baking Steel. The Baking Steel will darken further in use and gain more patina.
After seasoning, you can use the Baking Steel for frying as you would any type of pan. It is particularly suited to grills as an addition to the grill grating when you need a large frying surface. Reseason the steel when necessary.
Cleaning
Scrape any food residue from the Baking Steel using a spatula or grill brush. The Baking Steel can withstand hard scraping and scrubbing, if necessary. If the Baking Steel is particularly dirty, you can wash it with a small amount of washing-up liquid. Please note, however, that washing the Baking Steel with washing-up liquid removes some of the protective layer of fat seasoned onto the surface, which is why we primarily recommend cleaning it with hot water only.
Storage
Before storage, clean the Baking Steel as instructed. Store in a dry place.
