Cast Iron Conditioner. · Any plant-based cooking oil. · Rendered animal fat with no additives.
VIDEO TUTORIAL How to Season a New Blackstone Griddle
youtubecom/watch?v=VspmdVnj2pI&t=3s
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 off
STEP 04 The griddle top is ready for another layer of oil when it stops smoking. Repeat STEP 03 3-4 times, or until the griddle surface is black.

SEASONING TROUBLESHOOTING

THERE IS A BROWNISH RESIDUE ON THE GRIDDLE SURFACE:

POSSIBLE CAUSES

SOLUTION

· Too much oil was used. · You turned off the heat too soon.

STEP 01 Turn your griddle on high and let it heat for 10-15 minutes. STEP 02 Scrape off as much of the thickened and partially cooked oil as you can.

STEP 03 Re-season with a very thin layer of oil.

THE EDGES OF THE GRIDDLE SURFACE ARE NOT BLACK: After using your griddle for multiple cooks, the seasoning will even out and improve.

PREVENTING RUST
Use your griddle frequently. Every time you cook, you are adding to the seasoning, which makes rust less likely.
NOTICE
If you live in a humid or coastal climate, your griddle may require more frequent seasonings between uses.
If rust appears on the griddle surface, rub it off with steel wool, low grit sandpaper or the Blackstone Pumice Stone and re-season the surface.
