Cleaning a carbon rolled steel or ground steel plancha

This type of plate should be cleaned when it is still hot to make your job easier.

Step 1: Heat the griddle

If your plancha plate isn´t very hot, turn on your plancha and let it heat for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Deglaze the griddle

Turn off the plancha and hot de-ice the griddle with cold water or ice cubes. During de-icing you will have to pay close attention to water vapors so as not to burn yourself.

Step 3: Heat the griddle

Scrape the residue with a spatula. Thanks to the effect of thermal shock, you can easily remove food residues and slide them into the grease container provided for this purpose.

Step 4: Protect the griddle

VERY IMPORTANT: when the plate is clean, dry it well and brush it with a thin layer of oil, not forgetting the edges, with a paper towel. This will protect your plate from oxidation.

If the maintenance instructions are not followed, your plaque may oxidize in some places. If you discover rust spots or your plate is extremely dirty, you will need to use a pumice stone to remove them.
