Seasoning Griddle
Important: season your griddle every time you use it.
Griddle chefs at Japanese steakhouses and short-order restaurants do it all the time, and
it is critical for you to do it too. Seasoning helps prolong the life of your griddle, makes the
cooking surface non-stick and helps prevent rust.
Tools needed for seasoning:
• Metal scraper or metal spatula
• Cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
• Paper towels
• BBQ stone or steel wool
• Finishing oil such as flaxseed oil
CAUTION: Do NOT use corn oil as it contains a high level of sugar, which can caramelize and burn onto the
surface.
1) While the griddle is o and cold, scrap o all excess food or rust using a metal scraper or metal spatula if any. If there is
excess rust, use a BBQ stone and some cooking oil to scrap the rust out.
2) Clean up the griddle with paper towels.
3) Season the griddle by applying a small amount of oil onto the top of griddle and spread it around evenly using paper towel.
We recommend using flax oil if available.
4) Turn the burner to medium high heat and after awhile, the oil will start to smoke and the top of the griddle will start to
discolour. Let it continue to burn until the surface becomes dark brown, matte grey or bronze, which takes about 30 mins
and is ready to cook.
5) Once cooking has finished, let the griddle cool down.
6) Once the griddle has cooled, apply another even layer of cooking oil. This will help prevent rusting.
