Q. What types of cooking oils can I use to season my griddle?
A. We recommend the following oils for seasoning purposes: olive oil,
vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, ax seed oil and sesame oil. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning Instructions section of the Care &
Maintenance chapter.)
Q. Can I use dish detergent to clean my griddle?
A. Grease cutting dish detergents will erase the seasoning on the griddle and
should not be used aer griddle is seasoned. For tough spots use table salt
and hot water and always coat with a thin layer of oil once you are nished
cleaning. (For griddle cleaning instructions, please reference the Cleaning
Your Griddle section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)
Q. Why does my griddle surface look dull and dry instead of shiny
and black?
A. Seasoning is a continuous process. Over time and the more oen you use
your griddle top, the more shiny, black and non-stick it will become.
Q: Can I cut directly on the griddle top?
A: Yes, you can. Cutting on the griddle top will not harm it.
Q. What if my griddle starts to rust?
A. If rust appears on the griddle surface, rub it o with steel wool
or low grit sandpaper and re-season the surface (youtube.com/
watch?v=thPE2IgnSiI). Take care to always completely dry your griddle
before storing and keep away from rain and sprinklers. It is also important to
keep your griddle covered. (For proper storage techniques, please reference
the General Care section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

STORING YOUR
GRIDDLE
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers oered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with so
cover, use the “tenting” method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. “Tenting” involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide o. “Tenting”
helps prevent rust.
FIRST TIME CLEANING
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For rst
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section)
!WARNING
NEVER APPLY COLD
WATER ACROSS THE
WHOLE SURFACE OF A
HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.
This may cause warping.
!CAUTION
DO NOT USE SOAP ON
THE GRIDDLE COOKING
SURFACE. This will destroy
the griddle’s seasoning.

STORING YOUR
GRIDDLE
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers oered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with so
cover, use the “tenting” method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. “Tenting” involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide o. “Tenting”
helps prevent rust.
FIRST TIME CLEANING
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For rst
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section)
!WARNING
NEVER APPLY COLD
WATER ACROSS THE
WHOLE SURFACE OF A
HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.
This may cause warping.
!CAUTION
DO NOT USE SOAP ON
THE GRIDDLE COOKING
SURFACE. This will destroy
the griddle’s seasoning.

Section 02
GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS
For best results, we recommended seasoning the griddle before
cooking on griddle top.
STEP Make sure griddle top
is wiped clean of debris. (Please
reference the Cleaning Your
Griddle section)
Blackstone griddle tops are pre-treated
with soy oil as a protective coating.
This coating may leave a discoloration
on the griddle top. This is normal and
will not affect the seasoning process.
STEP Set your griddle to high
heat until your griddle top changes
color. Use tongs to hold a paper
towel or cotton cloth and spread 2-3
tablespoons of your seasoning oil
across the griddle surface.
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 You will know it is done
when it stops smoking. You will
want to repeat this 3-4 times for
your initial seasoning.
The heat of the griddle will break
down the oil and bond it to the metal,
creating a new polymer that acts as a
stick resistant and protective layer over
the griddle.
TOOLS NEEDED: Cooking Tongs, Paper
Towels, and Cooking Oil
