STEP 01: Wipe any debris off griddle top. STEP 02: Set your griddle to high heat until your griddle top changes color. (~10 min) ****

STEP 03: Use tongs to hold a paper towel or cotton cloth and spread 2-3 tablespoons of your seasoning oil across the entire griddle top.
When seasoning your griddle top, remember to use a thin and even layer of oil—the thinner the layer of oil, the easier it will be to burn it offff.
