This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the BORETTI CERAMICA by Boretti.
After the use of the barbecue we recommend that you store it under a barbecue cover or in the garage/shed. For both Ceramica sizes there are custom-made covers available through www.boretti.com or at your local Boretti-dealer. Only store the barbecue after it has fully cooled down. Never store it in a damp space, and never store it in a space where flammable or inflammable substances are being stored. Regularly check and tighten all nuts and screws on your Ceramica to ensure it stays as stable as possible.
It is recommended to clean the grill racks immediately after use when the grills are still a bit warm. You can use a barbecue brush to do this (available through www.boretti.com). To keep the cast iron grills in the best condition we also advice to occasionally apply a thin layer of (sunflower) oil. This will also help to keep food residue from sticking onto the grills. We also recommend to clean the charcoal basket and the ash tray after every use. If needed use lukewarm water. Make sure to dry thoroughly after cleaning. In case it is needed we recommend to clean the outer body of the charcoal barbecue with lukewarm water and a soft sponge or cloth. DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaning detergents or soaps as this can damage the paint or finishing of your barbecue. Dry after cleaning. The inside of your Ceramica is best cleaned by burning it ‘’clean’’ at high temperatures. This will remove most fat and dirt. Try to achieve a temperature around 250-300°C for at least 30 minutes to get the dirt and fat away. DO NOT clean the inside of your Ceramica kamado with any liquids, cleaning detergents or brushes or as this can damage the ceramic or can influence the taste of your dishes prepared on the Ceramica.
