The stones, which are volcanic, are heated either in oven or on a
gas hob. We sell oven especially designed for this purpose as well.
The standard heating time is 20 mins at medium heat on a gas or
electric hob and 40 mins in an oven at 250 degrees. However, you
can adjust this once you know how well you require the different
meals to be cooked. The stones retain there heat for forty five
minutes after removal. The stones are loaded from the oven onto
stoneware plates, which have been specially designed to withstand
the intense heat. To serve, ingredients are placed directly onto
the hot stones, which cooks and seals without the use of oils or
fats, locking in the nutrients and juices. After use your they
should still be handled with care using oven gloves as they will
remain hot for over an hour. The best way to clean them is to place
in a sink with warm water and leave for around 30mins, by which
time you should be able to wipe the surface clean. The Lava Stone
can be used as well for the conveyor plan of a tunnel oven to
achieved energy efficiency and a better bakery product. We can
provide just the stones min. quantities 100 pcs or you can buy one
