Setup, Compatibility & Care
Seasoning: Before first use, season the griddle. Wash it with hot, soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire surface, inside and out. Heat the griddle in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for an hour, then let it cool. Repeat this process 2-3 times to build a durable, non-stick surface.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on BBQs, camping stoves, and hob cooking.
Cleaning: After each use, let the griddle cool. Wash with warm water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using soap, as it can strip away the seasoning. Dry immediately to prevent rust. If food is stuck, gently scrub with a scraper or a stiff brush.
Care: Re-season the griddle periodically to maintain its non-stick properties. Store in a dry place. If rust appears, scrub it off with steel wool, re-season, and start the process again.
