OPERATION
Caring For Your Griddle Surface
Your griddle surface has been transformed under extreme
heat and pressure making the surface harder and less
porous, and has then been pre-seasoned to provide a higher
level of rust protection.
We recommend you clean your griddle either before or after
each use, using a Griddle Scraper (available for purchase).
Depending on the frequency of use, and the types of foods
cooked, you may need to season your griddle cooking
surface to boost the non-stick performance and corrosion
resistance. If your griddle is used infrequently, you may
notice your griddle surface seems dry and that your food is
sticking to the surface. This is a good indication that your
griddle needs to be re-seasoned.
How to Re-season Your Griddle Surface
Tools Needed: Tongs, lint-free paper towels or cotton cloth,
neutral cooking oil.
1) Open the protective top cover.
m WARNING: Do not operate the barbecue with the top cover
closed. The top cover is to be used for storage purposes
only to protect the griddle.
2) With the griddle in place on the barbecue, handwash the
griddle, rinse, and thoroughly dry.
NOTE: The griddle must be COMPLETELY dry before
continuing the seasoning process.
NOTE: This will be the ONLY TIME you use soapy water on
your griddle.
3) Pour ⅛ cup of a neutral oil (i.e. canola oil, vegetable oil,
grapeseed oil) into a bowl.
4) Dip a paper towel or cotton cloth into the bowl (A),
squeezing o the excess oil. Wipe the griddle from side
to side, top to bottom as evenly as possible (B). Be sure
to get the interior and exterior sides of the griddle as
well. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean paper towel
or cotton cloth if necessary.
5) Light all of the burners and preheat your griddle on the
high temperature setting
(C). The surface will begin to
smoke and darken (approximately 10 minutes). If any oil
begins to bead on the surface, use barbecue mitts and
tongs to wipe the excess oil from the griddle (D).
6) When the surface stops smoking (additional 20 minutes),
turn o the barbecue.
m IMPORTANT: Allow the griddle to cool completely, approx.
30 minutes.
7) The griddle now has 1 coat of seasoning.
NOTE: By the end of the seasoning process, a well-seasoned
griddle will be dark from edge to edge.
