GRIDDLE SEASONING
What is Seasoning
Seasoning is a process by which oil is baked into metal to create a stick resistant surface and protect
against oxidization.
LIFE SMART Griddles come with a thin layer of soy oil on them to protect against rust during shipping.
You can wash this off 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 off.
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 off 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 be-
come.
