TIPS AND RECIPES

Warning: never bring the stone into contact with overly
acidic foods such as vinegar, mustard, pickles, etc.
Lava-stone cooking is an excellent method for preparing foods as
part of a light, balanced diet focussing on healthy, all-natural meals
because it helps to preserve foods' natural flavours and vitamins.
The tone absorbs heat and transfers it to the food in a gradual,
uniform manner during cooking.

Beef: filets or steak
Veal: cutlets, filets

Chef's secret:
Vegetables take longer to cook than meat, so start all vegetables
cooking on the stone first. After a few minutes, move them to one
corner to make room for the meat.
