5. Seasoning the Griddle

Before first use, and periodically thereafter, it is crucial to season the griddle top. This process creates a natural non-stick surface and protects against rust.

1. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with hot, soapy water and rinse completely. Dry immediately.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of high-heat cooking oil (such as flaxseed, grapeseed, or a dedicated griddle seasoning product) to the entire griddle surface.
3. Heat the griddle on high until the oil smokes and burns off, turning the surface dark.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 several times until a dark, even, non-stick layer is formed.

6. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

Your Blackstone griddle features two independently controlled burners, allowing for multiple heat zones and versatile cooking.
