WHAT OIL IS BEST TO USE?

• Blackstone Seasoning and

Cast Iron Conditioner.

• Any plant-based cooking oil.

• Rendered animal fat with no

additives.

WASHING YOUR GRIDDLE TOP BEFORE FIRST USE

SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE

STEP 01 Wipe any debris o

griddle top.

GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 02 Set your griddle to

high heat until your griddle top

changes color. (~10 min)

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:

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 o.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Recovering your Blackstone Griddle Top

youtube.com/watch?v=thPE2IgnSiI

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 o with steel wool, low

grit sandpaper or the Blackstone Pumice Stone and re-season

the surface.

THE EDGES OF THE GRIDDLE SURFACE ARE NOT BLACK:

After using your griddle for multiple cooks, the seasoning will even

out and improve.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

•Too much oil was used.

•You turned o the heat too

soon.

STEP 01 Turn your griddle on high

and let it heat for 10-15 minutes.

STEP 02

Scrape o as much

of the thickened and partially

cooked oil as you can.

STEP 03

Re-season with a very

thin layer of oil.

CAUTION

Properly dispose of the rags/towels used to spread oil on

your griddle top 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 may cause the rags/towels and

surrounding material to ignite.

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.

NOTICE

DO NOT store any items within 3 in (8 cm) of the griddle top

while in use.

COOKING ON YOUR BLACKSTONE

CAUTION

This appliance will be hot during and after use. Use long-

handled utensils and oven mitts/ protective gloves when

handling potentially hot parts to protect against burns and

splatters.

HOW TO USE YOUR PIzzA OVEN

FRESH PIzzA

STEP 01 Preheat your oven on high for about 20-25 minutes.

STEP 02 Once the desired stone temperature is reached (650°-750°F

(340°- 400°C) for fresh dough pizza), turn the control knob to low.

Depending on what you are cooking, you may adjust the temperature

while cooking to achieve desired results.

Note: The thermometer only measures the air temperature in the

oven, NOT the stone temperature. Use an infrared thermometer (not

included) to measure the bottom stone temperature. Proper stone

temperature is critical for consistent results.

STEP 03 Pizza cooking time is about 2-4 minutes depending on the

size and thickness of the pizza.

• Thinner foods should be cooked at a higher temperature for a

shorter time.

• Thicker or denser foods should be cooked at a lower temperature

for a longer time.

STEP 04 Pull the pizza out when the crust has reached your desired

readiness, or when the edges of the pizza crust are golden-brown.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Wait to put a new pizza in until the temperature of the bottom stone

is back to your desired temperature.

• Set the temperature to HIGH between cooks and LOW during cooks.

• Keep the door closed as much as possible to retain heat.

• Experiment with pieces of dough beforehand to determine the

optimal stone temperature for your pizza.

FROzEN PIzzAS, COOKIES, ETC.

Follow the food manufacturer’s directions. Let frozen food thaw a

little before putting it into the hot oven. This will prevent your pizza

stone from cracking.

CLEANING YOUR OVEN INTERIOR

STEP 01 Apply a strong solution of detergent and water, or use an

oven cleaner with scrub brush on insides of oven lid and floor. Rinse

and allow to completely air dry.

STEP 02 Reference the Troubleshooting chapter for instructions on

cleaning the burner.
