Seasoning the griddle

Before using the griddle for the first time it must be seasoned.

If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be reseasoned.

To season the griddle:

1Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.

2Rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.

3Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center of the griddle. Do not use corn oil as it gets sticky. Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.

4Turn the control knob to a medium setting (350°F.). Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the griddle to cool.

5Repeat step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil.

6Repeat step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth. Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use.

Using the griddle

Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Preheat the griddle for 15 minutes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the Griddle Cooking Chart. When the griddle is preheated, the HEATING light will turn off. Place the food on the griddle and cook to the desired doneness.

NOTE: When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional shortening. However, shortening can be used for flavor. A light mist of a non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier to turn.
