Onlyfire Chef Cooking Griddle, Non-Stick Grill Plate with High Sidewalls

Seasoning your griddle is easy, but takes some time to do right. After taking your griddle out of the box and putting it together, you need to wash the griddle top with soap and water. Wipe as much water off the griddle top as possible. 1. After wiping down the griddle, turn all the burners to high and ignite the burners. Turn the burners to medium high and allow all the water to evaporate off the surface: about 7 to 10 minutes. 2. Once the griddle is completely dry, put two tablespoons of Flax Seed oil on the hot griddle top and wipe it all over the griddle with a paper towel. Make sure to wipe down the sides of the griddle too. Holding the paper towel in a pair of tongs is the easiest way to do this. 3. The oil on the griddle top will smoke for about 15 minutes. After the smoke stops, put two more tablespoons of oil on the griddle top and wipe the griddle top down again. Repeat this process a total of six times for the best results. 4. After you have repeated this process six times, you are ready to cook!

You need to clean your griddle thoroughly after each use. Once you are done cooking on your griddle, turn off all the burners and allow it to cool slightly. No more than 5 to 10 minutes. After the griddle has cooled a little, scrape all of the oil and food residue into the grease cup for easy disposal. The heat from the griddle will cause the water to boil and help you scrape off the food more easily. If the water still doesn’t clean off the food, use coarse salt to scrub the food until it comes off. You never want to use soap and water on your griddle for cleaning after the initial seasoning as it can ruin the seasoning. After cleaning your griddle, always coat your griddle lightly with oil before putting it away to help it last longer and protect your griddle top from the elements and rust. Regular cleaning and care is so important to making sure your Flat Iron Gas Griddle is at its best.
