USING THE COOKTOP: Griddle
Using Your Cast Iron Griddle
The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for
food normally grilled.
Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface
for meats, pancakes and other foods usually prepared
in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly. Prepare the surface with cooking spray or
vegetable oil.

food soil.
