Seasoning the griddle plate If the griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over time, the following instructions should help regain the griddle's non-stick properties. For optimal performance and long life of your griddle plate, follow these simple cleaning and seasoning instructions. NOTE: 24'' griddles will not fit in the oven cavity for seasoning. Therefore, care should be taken not to overheat and damage their non-stick coatings while preheating and cooking. To prepare the griddle for seasoning The griddle plate must be clean and all residue removed before the griddle plate is seasoned. 1. Use a mixture of coarse salt and a small amount of white vinegar to buff off any residue from the griddle plate. To season the griddle Seasoning is a process by which a layer of animal fat or vegetable oil is applied and baked into the cookware. The seasoning layer provides a non-stick surface for cooking. 1. Use a paper towel to apply a thin, even coating of lard, shortening, or olive oil to the griddle surface. 2. Rinse well with clean water. 3. Dry the griddle plate thoroughly. 2. Bake the griddle plate in a 350°F oven for 1 hour. 3. Remove the griddle plate from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. 4. Apply a second layer of fat or oil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour. 5. Repeat process at least one additional time - making 3 coats of oil or fat. After seasoning 1. After cooking on your seasoned griddle, allow to cool and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to dry. 2. Add a thin coating of oil or fat before storing your griddle in a cool, dry place. 3. Repeating this process will season the griddle and maintain non-stick properties. Performance will improve over time with more seasoning. 4. To strip the griddle to re-season, a mixture of salt and vinegar should be used to remove any oil layers from the previous seasoning process. Page. 27
