Seasoning Griddle
Important: season your griddle every time you use it.
Griddle chefs at Japanese steakhouses and short-order restaurants season their griddles all
the time, and it is critical for you to do it too. Seasoning helps prolong the life of your griddle,
makes the cooking surface non-stick and helps prevent rust.
For more information, please visit BlueRhino.com/RazorFAQ.
Tools needed for seasoning:
• Metal scraper or metal spatula
• Cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
• Paper towels
• BBQ stone or steel wool
