SEASONING
YOUR GRIDDLE
The simple idea behind an initial seasoning is to coat the griddle with oil and then heat the oil
above its smoke point to polymerize the oil and create a bond with the griddle top. You will end
up with a dark coated surface that is easy to clean.
1. Preheat the griddle for 15 minutes on setting with the lid closed.
2. Apply a small amount of oil to the surface of the griddle top and spread it around with a cloth or
paper towel (use tongs or a metal spatula to hold the cloth or paper towel during application).
Make sure to apply an even coating across the entire griddle surface and inner walls until it
reaches its “smoke point” and let it continue to heat the griddle top until it stops smoking.
3. Repeat this process (Step 2) 4-5 times. Your griddle top will start to turn shiny black.
4. This griddle seasoning procedure will take about 30 minutes.
INITIAL GRIDDLE SEASONING
Your well-seasoned griddle should be shiny black and have a natural non-stick cooking surface. The
more you cook with and season your griddle top, the darker, stick resistant, and shiny it will become.
