Cura i Manteniment

1. Initial Seasoning (Optional):

While the Cuisinart CHA-830 is pre-seasoned, an additional seasoning layer can enhance its non-stick properties and protect against rust. To season, apply a thin, even coat of high-smoke-point cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or flaxseed oil) to all surfaces. Heat the cook top on the fire pit or in an oven at 350-400°F (175-200°C) for one hour, then let it cool completely. Repeat this process several times for best results.

2. Neteja:

• Allow the cook top to cool completely before cleaning.
• Scrape off any food residue with a plastic or wooden scraper.
• Wash with warm water and a mild soap, using a stiff brush or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the seasoning.
• Rinse thoroughly and immediately dry the cast iron completely to prevent rust.
• Note: Although listed as dishwasher safe, hand washing and immediate drying are recommended for cast iron to preserve seasoning and prevent rust.

3. Re-seasoning:

After each cleaning, or if the surface appears dull or food begins to stick, re-season the cook top. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil and wipe off any excess. This maintains the non-stick surface and protects the cast iron.

4. Emmagatzematge:

Ensure the cook top is clean, dry, and lightly oiled before storing. Store in a cool, dry place. The hinged design allows it to fold in half for compact storage.
