Before the first use

The Hanging Fire Bowl has an ex works preservation with food safe paraffin oil to prevent corrosion.
Before you can use your Hanging Fire Bowl for the first time for roasting and cooking it must be seasoned.
For that purpose, please proceed as follows:
1. Pour a high-temperature vegetable fat or cooking oil into your Hanging Fire Bowl so that the bottom
is well covered and distribute it over the complete surface. At best use a Petromax Wooden Spatula
or a Petromax Flexible Spatula for Grills and Pans.
2. Hang the bowl over your fire and as soon as it is hot add a generous amount of salt.
3. By stirring occasionally once again distribute the oil-salt mixture over the complete surface, espe-
cially the edge zone. After a while the roasting surface of your Hanging Fire Bowl will turn dark at
places or even extensively and the typical patina develops.
4. Remove your bowl from the fire and let it cool down. Rinse with hot water and carefully remove
roasting residues. Afterwards dry the bowl well and for protection grease with oil or Petromax Care
Conditioner for Cast and Wrought Iron.
5. Your Hanging Fire Bowl is now ready for use. The seasoning process can be repeated any number
of times.
