4. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

The Breeo SearPlate Griddle X30 is designed for live-fire cooking. Understanding how to manage your fire and the griddle's heat is key to successful cooking.

4.1 Heating the Griddle

• Build a fire in your Breeo fire pit. Allow the fire to establish and burn down to a good bed of coals for consistent heat.
• The carbon steel griddle will absorb heat from the fire, distributing it across its surface. The area closest to the fire pit's opening will be the hottest, with temperatures gradually decreasing towards the outer edge. This allows for different cooking zones.
• Allow the griddle to preheat for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired cooking temperature. You can test the temperature by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, it's ready.

4.2 Cooking with the SearPlate Griddle

• Apply a thin layer of high smoke point cooking oil (e.g., grapeseed, avocado, or flaxseed oil) to the griddle surface before placing food.
• Utilize the different heat zones: use the hotter inner ring for searing and high-heat cooking, and the cooler outer ring for warming, slow cooking, or keeping food warm.
• The natural nonstick surface, developed through proper seasoning, will make cooking and flipping food easier.

• Keep children and pets away from the fire pit and griddle during operation.
• Never leave a live fire unattended.

5. Tiaki

Proper maintenance is essential for preserving the nonstick properties and extending the lifespan of your carbon steel SearPlate Griddle.

5.1 Te horoi i muri i te whakamahinga

• Allow the griddle to cool down after cooking, but while it is still warm, scrape off any food residue with a metal spatula or scraper.
• Wipe the surface clean with a paper towel or a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, you can use a small amount of hot water and a stiff brush, but avoid soap as it can strip the seasoning.
• KAUA wash the griddle in a dishwasher. It is not dishwasher safe.
• Thoroughly dry the griddle immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.

5.2 Re-seasoning

Over time, or if the griddle appears dull or food starts to stick, it may need re-seasoning. Seasoning creates a protective, nonstick layer on the carbon steel.

• Me whakarite kia ma, kia maroke hoki te paraharaha.
• Apply a very thin, even layer of high smoke point cooking oil (e.g., grapeseed, flaxseed, or Breeo's recommended seasoning oil) to the entire surface of the griddle, including the underside. Wipe off any excess oil.
• Place the griddle back on a hot fire pit or in an oven (if it fits and is safe for oven use) at a high temperature (e.g., 400-500°F or 200-260°C) until the oil smokes and polymerizes, forming a dark, hard coating. This may take 30-60 minutes.
• Allow the griddle to cool, then repeat the oiling and heating process 2-3 times for a robust seasoning layer.

5.3 Rokiroki

• Store the clean and seasoned griddle in a dry environment to prevent rust.
