Use about 200 g of food per person: use fresh products only (not frozen unless completely thawed first). Remove gristle and fat from meat. Debone fish. Cut thick shellfish in half. Cut meat, fish, vegetables or fruits in slices of about 1/2 cm thick and 5 - 6 cm long. Cooking irregular-sized pieces will not give the best results with this appliance. The Pierrade is not suitable for cooking large pieces of food such as steaks, chicken pieces etc or fatty foods such as bacon, sausages or burgers. If preparing a large or complete meal (firm textured fish, shellfish (shelled), lean meat and boneless poultry and fruits), it is recommended you clean the stone between different kinds of food (e.g. meat and fruits) in order to fully appreciate the taste and flavour. To clean, use the scraper supplied with the appliance (depending on model) or a spatula. Then wipe the stone to remove any remaining food particles using kitchen paper. Do not clean the stone with water, as this may cause thermal shock which will break it. Set the thermostat (depending on model) to the position of your choice. Due to the denseness of the stone, it will take 5 to 10 minutes to respond to a change in temperature setting when the appliance is in use. Turn off the appliance before the end of the meal: the stone will remain hot for at least ten minutes, and the last pieces of food will continue to cook. Recipes: Place slices of meat, fish, vegetables or fruits on the stone and cook to your taste. Season to taste on your plate. Accompany with cold sauces, salad and potatoes. Basic Pierrade
