Seasoning
the griddle
Before using the griddle for the first time,
it must be seasoned.
If the griddle has not been used for a period
of time, it should be reseasoned.
To season the griddle:
1 Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any protective coating.
2 Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and
1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3 Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center
of the griddle. Do not use corn oil as it can
get sticky. Rub the oil over the entire surface
of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4 Turn the control knob to a medium setting
(350°F.). Turn the heat off when the oil
begins to smoke. Allow the griddle to cool.
5 Repeat step 3. Be sure to cover the entire
surface with the oil.
6 Repeat step 4. Allow the griddle to cool.
Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using
a heavy cloth. Apply a very thin layer of
vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use.
Using the
griddle
Before starting to cook on the griddle, be
sure the drip tray and liners are in place.
Select the cooking temperature and preheat
for 15 minutes.
NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned,
it can be used without any additional shortening.
However, shortening can be used for flavor.
NOTE: The griddle will take approximately
45 seconds to ignite. Unlike the surface burners,
which use electric igniters, the griddle uses a
glow bar for ignition. It takes approximately
45 seconds for the glow bar to reach
temperature. Gas is only supplied to the griddle
once the glow bar reaches temperature.
