However, if cleaning is required, wait until the steel has cooled, then rinse it with warm water and use a soft sponge or firm bristle brush. If you choose to use soap, be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry the Bread Steel completely to prevent rust. Keep in mind that using soap may strip some of the seasoning, so you might need to re-season it afterward by applying a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil (like flaxseed oil) and heating it in the oven at 260\u00b0C for one hour.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2627804757\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2627804757-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-do-i-need-to-season-the-bread-steel?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2627804757-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Do I need to season the Bread Steel?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2627804757-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2627804757-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>The Bread Steel comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. Over time, if seasoning needs to be refreshed, follow the same procedure used for cast iron or carbon steel pans. Simply coat the steel sparingly with a high-smoke-point oil (flaxseed oil is recommended) and bake it at 260\u00b0C for one hour. Allow it to cool completely in the oven before handling.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-4044655280\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-4044655280-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-the-bottom-of-my-bread-is-too-dark.-what-should-i-do?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-4044655280-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>The bottom of my bread is too dark.

To adjust, place a sheet of aluminum foil directly under the Bread Steel\u2014between the steel and the oven rack it is sitting on. This will slightly lower the steel\u2019s surface temperature, helping to prevent overbaking or burning while still ensuring an even bake.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2993215416\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2993215416-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-how-do-i-remove-spots-or-scratches-from-my-bread-steel?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2993215416-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>How do I remove spots or scratches from my Bread Steel?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2993215416-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2993215416-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Some spots and scratches are completely normal and will naturally develop as you use your Bread Steel and won\u2019t affect its performance. These marks don\u2019t need to be removed, but if you notice stuck-on residue that might smoke or smell during your next bake, here\u2019s how to clean it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a firm bristle brush or sponge to scrub off the residue. If necessary, use a small amount of hot, soapy water.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse thoroughly and dry the Bread Steel completely to prevent rust.<\/li>\n<li>Reseason the Bread Steel.
