Frequently Asked Questions - RC 68 STEBA

How to clean the stone plate?

Soak the stone in hot water (without additives), then clean it with pure hot water using a brush. Do not use detergent, dish soap, or abrasive powder, as this could alter the natural properties of the stone.

Why does my stone plate have cracks?

The cooking stone expands during heating, which can cause small surface cracks. This phenomenon is normal and does not affect operation. Note that the stone plate is excluded from the warranty for this reason.

Can I use oil on the stone plate?

On the stone plate, you do not need oil or fat, except during the first use. This helps preserve the natural taste of food.

How to prevent meat from sticking during first use?

During the first use, meat or fish may stick slightly. It is advisable not to turn the food until it releases easily. After a few uses, the surface will become non-stick.

Allow about 200 to 250 g of cheese and potatoes per person, with your choice of accompaniments.

Tray for pans

Used hot pans can be put into the tray for pans. This helps to prevent them from scorch and facilitates the cleaning.

1. Grilling on the grilling plate

When planning the evening, reckon on about 200 to 250 grams of material per person. On the grillplate you can prepare meat (e.g. rump steak or mince), fish, and a wide variety of tasty dishes. A large number of side-dishes, sauces, and dips are suitable to accompany them.

• How well "done" the dishes have to be depends on the type of meat or fish, the length of time it takes, its initial temperature, and its thickness. If you prefer your steaks not too "rare", do not cut them too thick.

• The time you give meat or fish is a matter of your personal taste. Turn the meat or fish over from time to time.

• Finally, you can salt the meat or fish, or add a sauce to it. Do not salt before grilling as this draws the juice out.

No-stick grilling plate (RC68, RC88):

You can grill dishes beautifully using the ribbed surface.

Stone plate (RC78, RC88):

• No oil or grease is needed on the stone, so the natural flavour of meat, fish, and other ingredients is preserved (with the exception of the oil you apply before first using the stone).
  Always use the gourmet grill pans with the smooth surface upwards.
• It is possible that the meat or fish could "catch" (burn in slightly) the first time the appliance is used. Do not turn the meat or fish over until it is very easy to loosen from the surface.
• The grill stone is particularly suitable for the natural grilling of all kinds of juicy meat, fruit, and vegetables.

That the vegetables an meat juices does not so much burn in please wipe off the surface from time to time with a damp cloth.

2. Raclette dishes with the gourmet pans

You can fill the pans with all kinds of ingredients cut up small, whatever takes your fancy, cover it with cheese, and heat it under the grill until the cheese melts.

Anything is suitable that you can think of for overbaking with cheese, e.g. meat cut inlo tiny pieces, poultry, fish, fruits de mer, sausage, fruit, and vegetables. There are specially selected raclette cheeses on the market, but you can try other kinds provided their tat content is over 45% .

3. Overbaking „au gratin" with cheese

You can use this raclette grill to cover the dishes you have made on the grill with a delicious gratinÉ cheese crust. Simply scatter grated cheese, possibly mixed with caraway seeds, over the dish, or lay it on top in slices, and place the gourmet pan under the grill.

The gourmet pan will be heated from on top by radiant heat, just like under a grill. First the cheese will melt, then it goes dark in colour. Take the pan out as soon as the cheese is a crisp golden brown.

4. Old-original raclette cheese method

In this instance, the cheese is at the focal point of the raclette party. Plan about 200 to 250 grams of cheese and potatoes per person, and side-dishes as well. Place a slice of cheese about 5mm (3/8th of an inch) thick in the pan, cut to fit, and push it in under the grill. Once the cheese has melted into a creamy mass, take the pan out and extract the cheese with the aid of a small wooden spatula and pour it onto boiled or foil potatoes, French bread, or toast.

Important note

Cold-pressed oils, such as olive oil should not be used as dripping as these oils have a poor quality at high temperatures.

Due to the high grill temperatures (up to 250^ ), residues of oil, juices, herbs, etc. build up on the hot grill surface and the non-stick effect decreases. It is hard or impossible to remove these residues from the grilling plate.

Therefore, only use heat-resistant oils!

Some Tips for grilling

• Minced meat must be processed immediately
• Separate roasted poultry from raw meat, do not eat raw meat and always grill until fully cooked.
  Cured meat and sausages should not be grilled too much.
