• Butter tastes better than oil for waffles and pancakes.

• A small brush is useful for oiling or buttering surfaces.

For best results, spread oil or butter inside the two parts of the iron before placing food, turn the iron round in the fire every minute or so, to prevent food burning.

The cooking iron itself is made of cast iron. Wash before use. Wash after use, dry and coat in oil. Will rust if left outside. Will rust if left un-washed. Will rust if not coated with oil after use.

Cast iron becomes very hot while in use and may remain hot a long time after taking out of the fire. Do not touch before it is cool.

Care and Maintenance:

• BBQ grills and other accessories are coated with vegetable cooking oil during manufacture but may have gathered dirt and dust therefore need to be cleaned in hot water and detergent to remove any foreign matter and debris.

• After cleaning and drying, cooking accessories are best lightly coated with vegetable cooking oil before use.

• After use, they need to be cleaned again with hot water and detergent and coated with vegetable cooking oil before storing. NEVER USE MINERAL OIL.

• If you do not oil cooking accessories they will rust, this could happen after first use. If you wash cooking accessories with water and don't coat with cooking oil rust can occur in a matter of hours.

• After use the surfaces of the cooking accessories in direct contact with the fire will be covered in black carbon soot. Soot can be washed off with hot water and household detergent or washing up liquid. Be careful because black soot residues will mark surfaces, tea towels or washing up cloths. All soot must be removed before oiling and storage.
