How do I season my Flat Top?
Before your first cook, you will need to season your Flat Top. Seasoning creates a stick-resistant, protective coating so you can make delicious eggs,
pancakes, burgers, and fajitas for years to come. Just follow the steps below:
1. Your WEBER CRAFTED Flat Top has been coated with a food-safe oil to keep it in great condition during transportation. Before seasoning, handwash
it in warm, soapy water, scrubbing vigorously with a nylon bristle brush or sponge to remove the oil. Thoroughly dry.
• NOTE: This will be the ONLY TIME you use soap and water on your Flat Top.
2. Remove the grate on the right-hand side of the grill.
3. Preheat your grill to 400–500°F.
4. Using a paper towel, apply 1 tablespoon of a neutral oil (like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed) to all the surfaces of your Flat Top.
5. Wipe off any excess oil so it appears dry.
6. Wearing grill gloves or mitts, place the Flat Top within the frame.
7. Heat the Flat Top for 30 minutes. The surface will begin to smoke and darken in spots.
• NOTE: A well-seasoned Flat Top will be dark black from edge to edge.
8. Grip a paper towel in grill tongs to wipe away any uneven spots or drips of oil. The seasoning has set when the smoking has stopped.
• NOTE: Keep paper towels away from flames and extreme heat.
• NOTE: Do not remove the Flat Top until it is cool to the touch.
9. Once the Flat Top has cooled, repeat steps 4-8 two more times in order to build the seasoning.
• NOTE: The first cook after seasoning, we recommend fattier foods like bacon or burgers to continue building layers of seasoning.
Why is my Flat Top changing color?
Not to worry, it is normal for the Flat Top to change color over time. The darkening of the surface indicates better seasoning, which results in better performance for
your Flat Top.
