Griddle / Steel

• It is normal for the seasoned

surface to be dark brown.

• Never flood a hot griddle with

cold water. This can warp or
crack the steel plate.

• Do not clean any part of the

griddle in a selfcleaning oven.

• Steel will rust if it is not

seasoned.

• Season the steel with vegetable

oil as described on Page 21.
Avoid using corn or olive oil.

• To remove seasoning: Pour

vinegar and warm water on a
slightly warm griddle. Rub with
a stiff brush or pumice stone
until steel surface is visible.
Rinse with warm water; dry; re-
season.

• To clean after normal use: While

surface is slightly warm, wipe off
excess oil with paper towel.
Scrape food par ticles and
residue forward into grease tray
with a metal spatula.

• Remove the seasoning and re-

apply if there are black specks
that transfer to the food or the
seasoning builds up and
becomes gummy.

and steel wool pads remove the
seasoning.
