What to check before you buy a hot stone cooking set
A good set looks simple, but a few details decide how well it performs.
Check heat retention, cleaning and the guarantee.
Heat retention
A fully heated SteakStones lava stone sizzles for 20 to 30 minutes. It keeps cooking for up to 50 minutes after serving. Verified buyer Brett E.summed it up: "It works as advertised. Last a solid 20-30 minutes of high heat cooking!"A stone that is not fully heated loses its sizzle much faster.
Cleaning
A lava stone cleans with a soak in warm water and a wipe once it has cooled. Avoid detergents where possible. Wipe the bamboo board with acloth and never submerge it. The stainless steel tray and the ceramic pieces are dishwasher safe.
Guarantee
SteakStones offers a lifetime guarantee on any component shown to be faulty. Whichever set you consider, check whether the guarantee coversa cracked stone.
