Questions & Answers

How do I season my griddle?

Begin by wiping down your griddle surface with warm, soapy water and a dish towel to remove any dust or residue. Rinse thoroughly to clean. Next, heat the griddle on high until the surface changes color. Using tongs to hold a paper towel or cotton cloth, apply 2–3 tablespoons of seasoning oil evenly across the griddle. Remember to use a thin, uniform layer—the thinner the oil, the easier it will bond and burn off properly. As the griddle heats, the oil will break down and polymerize, forming a protective, nonstick coating. When the smoking stops, the seasoning is set. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times for your initial seasoning. It’s normal for food to stick a bit during the first few uses—just keep cooking and applying oil before and after each use. Over time, the seasoning will improve. Since your griddle top is made of steel, resurfacing and re-seasoning is simple if needed.

What should I do between cooks on my griddle?

Before cooking, apply a very light coat of cooking oil to the surface. After cooking, scrape and clean the griddle, then spread a thin layer of Blackstone Seasoning & Conditioner or cooking oil evenly with a paper towel or cloth. This protects the surface and prepares it for your next cook.

Which oil is best to use?

After extensive testing, we developed our own blend: Blackstone Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner. This unique combination delivers consistent seasoning results and combines the best qualities of multiple cooking oils. You can purchase it at select retailers or on our website.

How do I clean my griddle top?

Griddle tops require care similar to cast iron cookware. Use minimal water when cleaning, never use soap, and always finish by applying a light layer of oil to maintain your seasoning and protect the surface.
