The plate has a sunken cooking well that keeps vegetables and smaller items from sliding off, plus a built-in oil drain that channels grease away from food for easier cleanup.

After cooking, wipe the surface clean, use hot water and a brush for stuck-on bits, dry thoroughly, then apply a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust.
