Maintenance

Always clean the griddle immediately after each use with boiling hot water and a brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly. If there is a lot of food sticking to the surface of the griddle it may be cleaned with a steel wool scouring pad. Rinse well with hot water and reseason per instructions in grill or oven. Prior to storing, grease very lightly with a solid vegetable oil or a vegetable cooking spray, then wipe dry with a paper towel. Store in a dry place.

Reseasoning

After each use the griddle may be reseasoned by coating with a solid vegetable oil.

A vegetable cooking spray may be used as a convenient method for quick reseasoning.

Tips

The cast iron griddle will turn black with use. The pores of the iron will be sealed, providing a durable coating that helps to prevent foods from sticking. The griddle will further season with use. Regular applications of solid vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray will improve its resistance to rust.

Rust, a metallic taste or discolored foods are signs of improper or inadequate seasoning or may result from cooking acidic foods. If this occurs, wash thoroughly and reseason.

Since cast iron holds heat well, you will not need to use extremely high cooking temperatures. Best results are obtained with medium to medium-high heat. Do not overheat.

As with all cast iron, the more the use, the easier the maintenance.

Cooking with the Griddle

To preheat, after lighting, turn both burners to high (HH). Preheating will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.

Your Weber Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy.
