Use and Care Manual
Flattop Grilling
A fl attop grill resembles a griddle but performs 
differently because the heating element is circular 
rather than straight (side to side). The Evo grill heating 
technology creates an extremely hot and even cooking 
surface that’s unparalleled in heat retention and even 
heat distribution.
The exceptional performance of Evo’s circular cooking 
surface is the result of a single, slightly-crowned piece 
of steel that’s formed with a fl anged edge to trap heat, 
then oil-seasoned multiple times to promote a natural 
non-stick cooking surface.
Advantages of fl attop grilling versus open-fl ame:
• NO fl are-ups!
•  Multi-zone cooking temperatures eliminate 
overcooking, undercooking and burning.
•  Expand your grilling repertoire from steaks, 
burgers and hotdogs to pancakes, eggs, bacon, 
stir fried rice, yakisoba noodles, fajitas, crab 
cakes and more. The possibilities are endless 
with your Evo grill!
It’s all about the seasoning!
Ready to Cook!
•  Your Evo cooktop is already seasoned, so you are ready to start cooking.
•  Use any utensils you like, even metal. There is no chemical coating to 
damage.
•  The Evo cooktop has superior heat retention, so use a lower heat setting to 
prevent food from sticking.
What is Seasoning?
•  Seasoning is simply oil baked onto the cooktop, giving it a natural, easy-
release fi nish.
•  Any high smoke point cooking oil will work for maintaining your Evo grill. We 
recommend vegetable oil, canola oil or saffl ower oil.
•  Seasoning is an ongoing process that improves the more you cook.
•  Acidic or alkaline foods like tomatoes and citrus should only be cooked once 
seasoning is well-established.
•  Metal scouring pads and harsh detergents will harm the seasoning.
•  After cleaning the Evo grill, coat the entire cooksurface with a lightly-oiled 
paper towel or terry cloth towel to season.
Getting Started
Fire It Up!
Before fi ring up your Evo grill, gather everything 
you need for your recipe, including prepping your 
ingredients. The beauty and convenience of the Evo grill 
is that it only takes 5 minutes to heat to temperature 
with no recovery time needed after the food is loaded 
onto the cooktop.
