BEFORE FIRST USE
Griddle Seasoning
CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or
dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the
plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner
edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the griddle
is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is important to "season" or
"fill up" these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning gives the surface a slick, hard finish
from which the food will release easily.
To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil per square
foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the oil over the entire griddle
surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an insulated cloth.
Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
