PREPARING AND SEASONING YOUR
MILD STEEL BBQ PLATE
Step 1: Clean the plate with soap and water. When clean, wipe off
soapy water and re-clean with plain water.
Step 2: Heavily apply an animal fat/oil (lard) to hotplate and cover
with salt generously.
Step 3: Light the barbecue and heat it upon high for 7-10 minutes.
With a heat proof oven glove, work the oil into the plate.
Step 4: Turn the barbecue off and allow it to cool. Once the
hotplate is cool, remove all excess oil and salt with a dry rag (no
scraping with a metal implement).
Step 5: Now the BBQ plate has been seasoned. Treat it like a non-
stick surface.

CLEANING YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
Retaining a sparkling finish on stainless steel surfaces is just a matter of a few simple steps. We
can supply all your cleaning requirements.
WHAT DO I USE TO CLEAN MY STAINLESS STEEL?
Simply wiping stainless steel with a damp cloth is not as effective as it can smear dirt without
removing it. We supply a stainless-steel cleaner which is very effective in removing dirt from
stainless steel and it leaves a highly polished finish. We also have a range of excellent cloths and
soft scourer sponges.
REMEMBER- STAINLESS STEEL IS EASILY SCRATCHED
Stainless steel can be scratched by careless handling or aggressive scrubbing. Just like you
would take care of a polished timber finish, avoid dragging rough items across the surface and
be aware that grit trapped under other objects can be the culprit.
DISCOLOURATION
Stainless steel may discolour if left in contact with salts or acids for extended periods. Also
avoid leaving carbon steel items in contact with stainless steel, particularly if wet. But if you
observe ordinary hygiene measures, like timely cleaning-up in food preparation areas, you
won't have any problems.
FOLLOW THE GRAIN
Always rub stainless steel in the same direction as the grain. Rubbing against the grain will spoil
the finish and the stainless steel will lose its shine. Rubbing against the grain can also damage
the surface by creating microscopic crevices where dirt can collect. This can lead to corrosion
spots. Fortunately, it's usually easy to tell which is the right direction.
USE SOFT CLOTHS
NEVER EVER use steel wool (wire wool) to clean stainless steel. It is usually made of carbon
steel and any fragments left behind will rust onto the stainless-steel surface. Using any kind of
scourer sponges which have previously been used on ordinary (carbon) steel is also a no-no for
the same reason. We also have a range of scouring pads that can carry out the heavy-duty
work, like removing burnt food from stainless steel. These will scratch but if you follow the
grain the small scratches will be hard to spot on the stainless-steel surface. These special
scourers won’t leave fragments to go rusty.
DO NOT rub with steel wool (wire wool)
DO NOT scrape with steel tools
DO NOT use scourers or cleaning cloths that have been used on ordinary steel
DO NOT rub plastic scourers across the grain of brushed surfaces
DO NOT use concentrated bleach or hydrochloric acid-based cleaning products
