YAKINIKU Cast iron seasoning kit
With this seasoning kit you can easily maintain and protect your cast iron grate. Cast iron is an excellent material for grates because it distributes heat evenly and gives meat and fish a wonderful crust. To get the most out of your cast iron grate, it is important to season it regularly. This seasoning process creates a natural, non-stick protective layer on the grate. Without this protective layer, cast iron can rust quickly and food will stick more easily.
The seasoning kit contains coarse sea salt and lemon powder, specially formulated for the maintenance of cast iron products. The coarse sea salt acts as a natural abrasive that removes rust and residues without damaging the material. The lemon powder melts at high temperatures and forms a thin protective layer that protects the grate against moisture and rust.
The more often you season, the better the protective layer becomes. Follow the steps below:
1. Preheat the Kamado to 230 °C. This can take a while, so start with this first.
2. Cut a potato in half and use it together with the coarse sea salt to remove rust and other residues from your cast iron grate. Instead of a potato, you can also use a damp cloth.
3. Rinse the grate thoroughly and let it dry.
4. Remove the cast iron grate from the Kamado and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
5. Sprinkle the grate generously with the lemon powder.
6. Place the grate back in the Kamado and leave it for half an hour. The powder will melt and create a protective layer on your cast iron grate.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 another 2 to 3 times for an optimal protective layer.
