Extinguishing The Fire - OFYR Classic Corten 100 Manuel

04 COOKING
It will take between 25 to 45 minutes, depending on the weather conditions and the outside temperature, for the
cooking plate to reach a temperature of around 300˚C on the inner edge and around 200˚C on the outer edge.
To do so, build a fire using the wood cabin method mentioned above. Once your initial fire's wood is burning
properly, spread out the hot mass under the edges of the cooking plate and add new wood with the bark facing up.
Repeat the process for the entire duration that you wish to keep the cooking plate hot. You will notice that it will take
a lot more wood during autumn and winter to keep the cooking plate hot than during spring and summer. If there is a
breeze, the cooking plate will be hottest where the wind leaves the OFYR
You can compensate for this by pushing more hot coals into the opposite direction. Once the cooking plate is starting
to heat up, you must first scrape it down using the spatula and then rub it with an oiled cloth. Once the cooking plate
is hot enough for cooking, add some oil where you intend to place the food. Whenever the cooking plate starts to
appear dry and matte, you will need to add extra oil, to ensure that the cooking plate is always sufficiently greased.
You will need to add more oil when cooking fish and vegetables than when cooking fatty meats. You can also use
(cedar) wooden planks (see fig.7) to place thicker cuts of meat or fish on after you have seared the outsides, to allow

and there. When you spot it chipping in places, simply scrape off the chips using the spatula, and rub on new oil.
The carbon residue layer will gradually renew itself this way.

05 EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE

The best way is to let the fire die out on its own. Please note that the ashes and the cooking plate can stay hot long
after use. Another option is to cover the OFYR

you also clean the Island's wooden work surfaces, for the sake of hygiene. These work surfaces should not be left
outside overnight or in the rain. Please note that you should never extinguish the fire using water!

a wire brush to remove the corrosion, as explained in Chapter 01, 'Always outside'.

The wooden boards must be cleaned by hand and must not be treated with any corrosive substances or
cleaned in the dishwasher. After you clean them, we recommend that you store them inside, in a dry place with
low humidity. Large temperature differences may cause the wood to warp. We strongly advise against leaving
these wooden boards outside. Please note that wood is a natural product and is always liable to warp somewhat.
We are not liable for any wood warping that may occur.

them to cook slowly. If any food residue is left behind on the cooking
plate, simply push it into the fire using the spatula. Rub the cooking
plate down with an oiled cloth frequently, and it will be spotless
again. We recommend that you do not allow a thick layer of residue
to build up, because it will be hard to remove. It is better to scrape
down the cooking plate frequently. Once you get used to using
your OFYR cooking unit, this will easily become a habit. Once you

are done cooking, clean the cooking plate one last time using the
procedure outlined above, and if it is still luke warm after that, rub
it with oil once more. This ensures that it will be properly protected
