Section 02
GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS
For best results, we recommended seasoning the griddle before
cooking on griddle top.
STEP 
Make sure griddle top
is wiped clean of debris. (Please
reference the Cleaning Your
Griddle section)
STEP 
Ignite griddle by
following lighting instruction
(Please reference the Ignition
chapter). Turn all knobs to set
burners to high. Wait for approx-
imately 10–15 minutes until your
griddle top starts to discolor.
STEP 
Pour a light amount
of cooking oil on griddle top. Any
cooking oil will work. The amount
of oil used depends on the size
of griddle (refer to the measure-
ment chart).
TOOLS NEEDED: Cooking Tongs, Paper
Towels, and Cooking Oil
! CAUTION
Small variations in manu-
facturing and raw materials
can cause some griddles to
be slightly warped. A slight
warp will disappear when
the griddle is heated in
preparation for cooking.

STEP 
Once your griddle
is covered with a thin layer of
oil, allow griddle to heat on high.
Smoking will occur as the oil
begins to bond with the surface of
griddle top, creating a stick-resis-
tant surface.
STEP 
When griddle top has
stopped smoking and there isn’t a
noticeable amount of sheen, repeat
steps 3–5 at least three times.
Aer repeating the seasoning steps, griddle top may not appear to be
completely black. To achieve a dark surface, start cooking on your griddle top.
This will create a nicely seasoned griddle top.
Follow proper griddle storing practices to maintain seasoned cooking surface.
(Please reference the General Care section.)
PLEASE NOTE: Blackstone griddle tops are pre-treated with soy oil as a
protective coating. This coating may leave a discoloration on the griddle top.
This is normal and will not aect the seasoning process.
STEP 
Use cooking tongs or
heat resistant gloves to hold folded
paper towels. Spread the cooking
oil over surface of griddle top using
the paper towels. Be sure to cover
every part of griddle top, including
corners and sides.
