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
