Why is food sticking to my Dash Everyday Griddle after a few uses?

A
Andrew MooreJul 31, 2025
The most likely cause is a buildup of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. To resolve this, allow the Dash Everyday Griddle to cool completely. Pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the surface and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Then, scrub the surface with a sponge or soft-bristled brush to loosen the food residue. Wipe down the Cooking Surface with a damp, soapy cloth, rinse the cloth, and wipe the surface again. If food residue persists, pour on cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
