SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Seasoning is a process by which oil is baked into metal to create a stick-resistance surface and
helps to prevent rusting. It can prolong the life of your griddle.
First time use:
Wash your griddle with a mild dishwashing detergent to wash out the protective coating applied
for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel.
NEVER
ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY
.
Seasoning:
Vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil is recommended for initial seasoning.
1, Apply a small amount of oil (about 2-3 Tablespoons) and spread over the entire surface,
including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.
2, Turn your unit on medium-high heat.
3, Heat the oil to its “smoke point” and let it continue to heat on the griddle top until it stops
smoking. Your griddle top will start to discolor. This is normal.
4, When the oil stops smoking (around 20-25 minutes), turn your unit off then cool down to do
another oil coating.
5, Repeat steps 1 to 3 a few times until a nice dark surface on the griddle.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE GRIDDLE
To clean the griddle after each use, gently scrape off all food residues with the supplier scraper
(22) and wipe down the griddle surface with a cloth or paper towel. For stubborn food residues,
pour water onto the hot griddle surface and let it boil the residues off.
After you have used your griddle, you should apply a thin coat of cooking oil to maintain the
seasoning bond and protect it from rust. Store your unit in a cool and dry place.
TO PREVENT RUSTING
Re-season your griddle frequently. If rust occurs, rub it off with steel wool or high grit sandpaper
and re-season the surface. Remind to always completely dry the griddle before storing and keep
away from rain and sprinklers.
