What is Seasoning
Seasoning is a process by which oil is baked into metal to
create a stick resistant surface and protect against oxidization.
Blackstone Griddles come with a thin layer of soy oil on them to
protect against rust during shipping. You can wash this o with
warm soapy water prior to your initial seasoning.
What oil should I use?
Some oils are better than others for seasoning. We recommend
Flax seed oil for your initial seasoning since it creates a very
durable bond, however, any of the following oils can be used.
• Flax seed oil
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Vegetable Oil
• Soy Oil
Initial Griddle Seasoning:
The basic idea behind your initial seasoning is to coat your
griddle with oil and heat the oil above its smoke point to
polymerize the oil and create a bond with the griddle top. You
will end up with a black, stick resistant surface that is easy to
clean.
1. Apply small amount of oil to the surface of the griddle
top and spread it around with a cloth or paper towel (use
tongs or metal spatula to hold the cloth or paper towel).
2. Turn your griddle on medium-high heat
3. Heat the oil until it reaches its “smoke point” and let it
continue to heat on the griddle top until it stops smoking.
Your griddle top will start to discolor. This is good.
4. Let your griddle cool a little. Repeat steps 1 through 3 a
few times until you have a black surface on your griddle.
Cleaning and Maintaining your Griddle
To clean the griddle after each use, scrape gently with a metal
spatula or scraper and wipe down the griddle surface with a
cloth or paper towel. For tough food residue, pour water onto
the hot griddle surface and let it boil the residue o.
After you are done using your griddle you should apply a very
thin coat of oil to maintain your seasoning bond and protect
it from rust. If rust or scaling (chipped seasoning) occur, rub it
o with steel wool or low grain sandpaper and re-season the
surface. Store your griddle in a cool, dry place.
What a well seasoned Griddle should look
like
Your well seasoned griddle should be shiny black and have a
natural non-stick cooking surface. The more you cook with and
season your griddle top, the more black, stick resistant and
shiny it will become.
