Note
- - Before using the brick for the first time you have to immerse it in warm water for almost two hours and then, if you want, to rub a garlic clove on the surfaces that are not glazed.
- - You can use dried or fresh aromatic herbs instead of fresh ones.
- - You can see the photos for more details.
