How to Use Your Plancha for the First Time

By Rikka

First Use — Seasoning the Cooking Plate

At your first use, please use warm water to clean the cooking plate and dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Apply a thin vegetable oil (best to start with olive oil) over the plate, heat the plancha for 20-30 minutes, to form a protective coating. Repeat this process 2–3 times for the best non-stick performance.

And then, you could start your cooking party.

After Use — Cleaning and Maintenance

After using the plancha, please cool it down a little first, then scrape off food residue with a spatula or scraper. Wipe the surface clean with paper towels or a damp cloth.

You could use a rain cover or lid to protect the plancha when it is placed outdoors, which will help extend its service life.
