How do I care for my fire plate properly? How do I clean it properly? And what do I do if rust forms?
These questions are crucial for all barbecue fans who are following the latest trend. A fire plate makes it possible to grill almost anything - from meat and vegetables to fish and sweet treats such as pineapples or peaches. It also creates a convivial atmosphere when everyone stands around the plate and watches the grilling or helps out themselves. With our mobile FENNEK Allround Set, the fire plate can then be safely stored in the accessory stand while the evening ends comfortably around the campfire with marshmallows and bread on a stick.
The most important step - burning in:
Before you use your fire plate for the first time, you need to season it. This process creates a protective patina that protects the plate from rust and prevents the food from burning or sticking. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in our blog post on seasoning a fire plate .
Caring for the patina:
The patina of your fire plate improves with every grilling session. At the beginning, the plate should still be treated with oil, but over time less and less oil is needed until the patina is fully developed and no more grilled food burns.
Cleaning after grilling:
Important: Never use detergent! Detergent would remove the patina, so the seasoning process would have to be repeated. After grilling, it is best to remove food residues with our grill spatula or the FENNEK turner and wipe the plate with paper. To optimally protect the fire plate from rust, apply a light film of oil after cleaning before storing it safely in the accessory stand and protecting it from the weather with the cover .
What to do about rust?
If rust appears despite good care, don't panic! Carefully remove the rusty area with a scouring pad and wipe it thoroughly. The affected area must then be re-fired to restore the protective patina.
Conclusion:
Once burned in, a fire plate is very easy to care for thanks to its patina and will give you lots of grilling pleasure for years to come!
