Griddle
/
Steel
It is normal for the seasoned
surface to be dark brown.
Never flood a hot griddle with
cold water. This can warp or
crack the steel plate.
Do not clean any part of the
griddle in a selfcleaning oven.
Steel will rust if it is not
seasoned.
Season the steel with vegetable
oil as described on Page 21.
Avoid using corn or olive oil.
To remove seasoning: Pour
vinegar and warm water on a
slightly warm griddle. Rub with
a stiff brush or pumice stone
until steel surface is visible.
Rinse with warm water; dry; re-
season.
To clean after normal use: While
surface is slightly warm, wipe off
excess oil with paper towel.
Scrape food particles and
residue forward into grease tray
with a metal spatula.
Remove the seasoning and re-
apply if there are black specks
that transfer to the food or the
seasoning builds up and
becomes gummy.
Detergent, scouring powders
and steel wool pads remove the
seasoning.

eventually scratch the steel.
