Q&A

Does the griddle need to be seasoned? If so what’s the best method.

Here's how to season a cooking plate: 1. Clean the Cooking Plate - Wash the cooking plate with warm water and a small amount of dish soap to remove any protective coating or residue from manufacturing. - Rinse thoroughly with clean water. - Dry the cooking plate completely with a clean towel or paper towels. 2. Preheat the Cooking Plate - Place the cooking plate on the stove over low to medium heat for a few minutes to ensure it's completely dry. 3. Apply Oil - Choose a high smoke point oil (e.g., vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, or lard). - Pour a small amount of oil onto the cooking plate and use a paper towel or cloth to spread it evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Make sure there’s only a thin layer of oil. 4. Bake the Cooking Plate - Preheat your oven to 400°F-480°F (200°C-250°C). - Place the oiled cooking plate upside down in the oven, with a baking sheet or foil on the lower rack to catch any drips. - Bake for 1 hour. During this time, the cooking plate will darken as the oil bonds to the metal, creating a natural non-stick layer. 5. Cool the Cooking Plate - After 1 hour, turn off the oven and let the cooking plate cool down inside the oven to room temperature. 6. Repeat - For a new cooking plate, it’s recommended to repeat the seasoning process 2-3 times to build a stronger non-stick coating. Usage and Maintenance - After each use, clean the cooking plate with hot water and a soft brush; avoid using soap. - If the non-stick layer starts to wear off, you can repeat the seasoning process to restore it. Proper seasoning and maintenance will make your cooking plate more durable and provide excellent non-stick performance over time.
