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.
