Griddle Tips

Condition or “season” griddle before first-time use.

Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated surface, which may be greased lightly before adding food. Preheat the griddle 5 minutes at HI heat setting, unless otherwise indicated in the Griddle Cooking Guide, then switch to recommended cook setting.

Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or sausage, may be started on a cold griddle.

*Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the griddle; a high domed metal cover, such as an inverted kettle, placed over them will help store the heat. Foods in covered dishes or pans may also be warmed on the griddle. Use heat- resistant dishes only.

Make sure grease collector jars and reflector plates are clean before using griddle.

To preserve the finish, use only Teflon’”> coated, nylon or wooden spatulas and spoons. Never use the griddle surface as a cutting board.

Over a period of time, minor scratches and some discoloration may appear in the non-stick coating. This will not affect the cooking performance or the non-stick finish.
