CAUTION – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – READ BEFORE
USE
- Make sure your grill has fully cooled before handling to avoid burns.
- Some components may have sharp edges. Use caution to avoid injury.
- Do NOT add frozen food to hot griddle.
- Use extreme caution, griddle will become very hot during use.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Note: some home ovens may not be large enough for the Classic Joe Griddle. It is recommended to complete these seasoning steps on your Kamado Joe®Classic Joe
- Preheat your oven to 400F (204C). Line a sheet pan with foil and place it on the lower rack of the oven for easy clean up.
- Wash your griddle with warm water.
- Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel or kitchen towel.
- Oil your griddle. Using a paper towel or kitchen towel apply a very thin layer of oil with a high smoke point 400F 475F (204C – 246C) to the griddle’s entire surface. Oils such as canola, sunflower, vegetable, flaxseed, grapeseed, or soybean provide the best result. We do not recommend using avocado, coconut or olive oil.
- Bake the griddle for 1 hour at 400F (204C). It is best to place the griddle upside down in the oven so the oil does not pool in the griddle. Let the griddle cool completely in the oven.
- Remove griddle from oven and wipe any excess oil or residue.
- Repeat steps 4-6 twice more.
HOW TO SEASON
Regular seasoning of your griddle provides for optimal results. The more you use and season your griddle, the more non-stick it will become. Regular seasoning can be done in 3 simple steps.
- Oil your griddle. Using a paper towel or kitchen towel apply a very thin layer of oil with a high smoke point 400F 475F (204C – 246C) to the griddle’s entire surface. Oils such as canola, sunflower, vegetable, flaxseed, grapeseed, or soybean provide the best result. We do not recommend using avocado, coconut or olive oil.
- Bake the griddle for 1 hour at 400F (204C). It is best to place the griddle upside down in the oven so the oil does not pool. Let the griddle cool completely in the oven.
- Remove cool griddle from oven and wipe any excess oil or residue.
TIP: Griddle should not be sticky to the touch. If sticky, simply heat and
cool your griddle until the desired coating texture is achieved.
Karbon SteelTM cookware will take on a variety of colors and patterns as
you begin to season and cook with your griddle. The change in color and
appearance is completely normal. The darker the griddle becomes, the better
its non-stick properties.
HOW TO CLEAN
Always clean your Karbon SteelTM product by hand. Never put the Karbon SteelTM product in the dishwasher. Never soak your Karbon SteelTM product.
- After your griddle has cooled completely, wipe out any excess cooking oil with a paper towel or kitchen towel. If needed, use a plastic spatula to scrape stuck on food. You can also use coarse salt and oil as a scrub. For very stubborn foods, simmer some water in your griddle for 3-5 minutes and then scrape clean with a plastic tool. Use extreme caution, the griddle will be very hot. Drain the water and allow the griddle to fully cool before moving to step 2.
- Wash your griddle with warm water and soft sponge.
- Dry thoroughly with an absorbent paper towel or kitchen towel. If you notice any residue on your towel, that is completely normal. That is some of the griddle’s seasoning. No harm is being done to your product.
- Before storing, apply a very thin layer of oil or carbon steel seasoning wax to your griddle. Always store in a cool, dry place. The thin layer of oil will protect your griddle and keep it ready for your next cook.
- Sometimes, after cleaning, your griddle will need to be re-seasoned. Please review the “HOW TO SEASON” section.
DOs AND DONTs
Do preheat your griddle before cooking to help promote the non-stick
properties of the griddle.
Do dry immediately after each use.
Do wash with warm water as needed.
Do rub a thin layer of oil or seasoning wax all over the griddle before
storing. This will help prevent rust.

Do not soak your Karbon SteelTM product.
Do not use an abrasive scrub brush on your Karbon SteelTM product.

your pan.

promptly.
Do not panic if you see rust on your product.
This can happen from time to time. Simply scrub away the rust and re-season
your griddle.
