Start with a dry salt block. Make certain that your block is completely dry before the use of it, as any moisture can cause it to expand and crack even as heating. Heat it slowly. Heating your salt block too quickly can cause it to crack. To prevent this, it’s best to increase the oven temperature gradually. Preheat before the use of it in the oven. Heating your block directly in the oven increases the risk of cracking, so you may wish to preheat it on a grill or stovetop before placing it in the oven. Changes are normal. Heating can cause your salt block to develop small cracks and naturally change color over time. Try to all the time cook on the same side to keep cracks from worsening. Maintain a hot block with care. A salt block can reach very high temperatures and remain hot for several hours. Regular oven mitts won’t offer sufficient protection, so you must believe the use of high heat-resistant gloves or a carrying rack instead. Don’t use fat. Butter and cooking oils aren’t necessary and will diminish the lifespan of your Himalayan salt block.

We recommend heating the block up to 260°C and the use of an infrared thermometer on hand to easily keep track of the temperature of the block. As a rough guide, just sprinkle a couple of drops of water on the block. Once it sizzles and immediately evaporates, you’re ready to start cooking. Please refer to recipes for exactly cooking temperatures and times of individual foods. Make sure all food is fully cooked all over before serving.

To clean
Once your block has returned to room temperature, use a soft bristled cleaning brush to remove debris and then wipe with a damp cloth. Lightly dry with a teatowel and let the remaining water evaporate. Allow it to dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place. If you live in a humid region, try wrapping your block in a towel before putting it away. Do not submerge your block in water. Do not use chemical cleaners.
