Griddle Information
The griddle comes with a thin layer of vegetable oil on it. Wipe it down with a
paper towel and season before use.
To Season
: Apply thin layer of vegetable oil to griddle top. Turn on the griddle
and allow it to simmer on medium heat for about 45 minutes. Once the griddle
has cooled down, wipe off extra oil with a paper towel. Your griddle has now
been seasoned.
The griddle can be cleaned just like a dutch oven. You can use a griddle
brick or SOS pad which can be purchased from your preferred hardware
store.
You can cut on the griddle surface; however, it will leave marks.
It is not necessary to burn off the old cooking oil residue and adding fresh
oil before each use. Add cooking oil as needed while cooking to prevent
food from sticking.
To keep the griddle surface from rusting
: place a thin coating of cooking oil on
the surface of the griddle when it is in storage. Do not leave the griddle
uncovered outside, this will cause the griddle to rust.
For griddles with wax paper on them
: Some of our griddles have a wax paper
that has adhered to the grease on the griddle.
TO REMOVE
: Pour water on top
of the griddle, turn burners on, and allow the paper to burn off. To remove the
left over grime on the griddle, scrub the surface with an SOS pad or good
scrubbing tool. If you choose to clean the griddle with soap and water you must
put on a thin coating of oil and season griddle before surface dries (see
instructions above on how to season your griddle). Neglecting to do so can
cause the griddle to rust.
At times the griddle top appears to have a black paint or Teflon on it. This,
however, is not the case. It generally means that the steel has oxidized and
needs to be seasoned. Oxidation is a natural process that does not affect griddle
performance or longevity.
