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 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.

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.
