SEASONING AND GRIDDLE CARE
What is seasoning?
Seasoning is the process of applying multiple coatings of oil to the griddle surface, heating to a high
temperature, to bake the oil into the griddle top. Seasoning your griddle top improves the cooking
performance, create a non-stick surface for cooking, prevents damage and deterioration due to moisture and
humidity, and extends the life of your griddle.
FIRST-USE
Before using your griddle for the first time, complete a burn-off. Start the griddle and operate for 15 minutes on
“HI”
.
This will “heat clean” the internal components, griddle surface, dissipate odors and rid the surface of any foreign matter.
RECOMMENDED OIL’s FOR SEASONING
a. Vegetable oil
b. Vegetable shortening
c. Canola oil
d. Flax oil
e. Olive oil – Not ideal. Burns off at lower temperature than the other options above.
SEASONING
1. Light the griddle and set controls to the
“HI”
position.
2. Apply oil to the griddle top, sides and corners, using long handle tongs and paper towels to spread the oil and coat
the entire surface thoroughly.
3. Heat the oil to its smoke point. You will notice the griddle top changing color.
4. When the oil stops smoking, repeat steps 2 to 4, until there is a noticeable sheen on the surface. About 3-5 times,
until the griddle surface becomes dark.
NOTE
The Members Mark 22” Tabletop Griddle is pre-treated with soy oil as a protective coating. This coating may
leave a discoloration on the griddle top. This is normal and will not affect the seasoning process.
