Dinner on the rocks

So Tuesday night I went to Dinner at this great place up in Dover at the Dover Downs a restaurant called Michele's. On the Menu was a steak (Filet Mignon) that you cook over a LAVA STONE! I had to get it. I had to try it. So I ordered it. It was amazing. The nice thing is; when you cook over a stone there are no oils or butters so it is quite healthy. When the meat is brought out it is raw and I had to cook it myself, which only took a few minute because the rock was blazing hot. I think I might have to order some ROCKS!!!!



Here is an explanation of how the cooking is done....

"The stones, which are volcanic, are heated either in oven or on a gas hob.
The stones retain there heat for forty five minutes after removal. The stones are loaded from the oven onto stoneware plates, which have been specially designed to withstand the intense heat. To serve, ingredients are placed directly onto the hot stones, which cooks and seals without the use of oils or fats, locking in the nutrients and juices.
After use your they should still be handled with care using oven gloves as they will remain hot for over an hour. The best way to clean them is to place in a sink with warm water and leave for around 30mins, by which time you should be able to wipe the surface clean." - Lave Stone for Cooking
