Medium or well done? Preparation on the hot stone directly on the table is a culinary experience in itself.
The hot stone contains a cork pad and is made from Finnish soapstone.
Diameter stone: 22 cm with cork underlay: 27 to 28 cm
SOAPSTONE
Soapstone (talc slate, steatite) is a group of natural stones that mainly consist of magnesium silicate talc in a massively dense formation. The rock is mined almost worldwide.
Depending on the composition, the stones differ regionally in their hardness. Secondary components are the minerals chlorite, magnesite and serpentine.
Because of its heat resistance, soapstone has also been used for cookware since ancient times.
APPLICATION Set the oven temperature to 300ºC. When the oven is hot, place the stone on the oven shelf for 30 to 40 minutes. (If your stove cannot be heated to 300ºC, increase the heating time for the stone accordingly.) The cork underlay does not belong in the oven. Put a drop of oil or some shortening on the hot stone. Now you can season the dish to your own taste and let it cook.
