WASHING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP BEFORE FIRST USE

NOTICE
Soap will ruin a seasoned griddle. This is the only time you should use soap on the griddle cooking surface.

STEP 01 Wash the griddle cooking surface with hot, soapy water. STEP 02 Rinse and dry completely.

SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE
VIDEO TUTORIAL How to Season a New Blackstone Griddle
youtube.com/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.

WHAT OIL IS BEST TO USE? · Blackstone Seasoning and
Cast Iron Conditioner. · Any plant-based cooking oil. · Rendered animal fat with no additives.

CAUTIoN Properly dispose of the rags/towels used to spread oil on your griddle top for seasoning purposes to prevent fires that might occur due to spontaneous combustion.
Under the right conditions, residual oil on rags or towels can oxidize long after being removed from a heat source. The oxidation process itself produces heat which, if not dissipated, can build up and cause combustible materials (including the rags/towels themselves) to ignite.

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.
