Directions for heating your Salt Tile: Be sure the salt block is completely dry For gas ranges, place your Himalayan Salt Block on the burner over low flame. After 15 minutes (allow more time for plates larger than 12" x 8" x 2" ), increase heat to low-medium. At this point, your salt tile will be hot enough to cook on, but you will want to keep the flame on low-medium while cooking. If extremely hot temperatures are desired, increase flame to medium-high for another 15 minutes. For electric ranges, place a metal spacer such as wok ring or pastry tin with a removable bottom on the stove so that the Himalayan Salt Block is at least 1/2 inch above the heating element. It is important that the salt not touch the heating element, as direct contact could damage your range, your salt, or both. With the salt block in place, turn heat to low and after 20 minutes to low-medium. If extremely hot temperatures are desired, increase flame to medium-high for another 20 minutes. If you want to use your Himalayan Salt Block in an oven, we recommend a much longer, slower break in period of up to one hour for the first use, with slightly increasing oven temperatures to avoid cracking or exploding of the salt tile. If you are using your Himalayan Salt Block on a barbecue grill, allow between 15 to 30 minutes to achieve the desired cooking temperature. They can be heating up as your coals are getting ready to cook on. Keep in mind, once your Himalayan Salt Block has worn down or broken you can always use a salt shaver to sprinkle the salt onto your food or break the chunks up and grind them with a salt grinder.
