Griddle Cooking Guide
Follow these guidelines for successful griddle cooking:
1If you prefer cooking foods without added butter or oil, first season the griddle surface to prevent any sticking. Season the griddle surface after each cleaning or before initial use. To season, brush the cool surface with a light coating of vegetable oil. Wait a few minutes; then wipe the surface dry with a paper towel. The griddle is now seasoned and ready for use.
2Set the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. Preheat the griddle until the READY arrow light goes out, approxi- mately 10 minutes.
3When cooking with butter or oil, place on cold griddle before preheating. Do not use more than 2 tablespoons of butter or oil.
4Foods may be kept warm on the griddle prior to serving. Reduce temperature to 200°.
