PORTABLE GRIDDLE, 12" X 20" WITH HANDLES

When you get your griddle it is shiny and looks like
stainless steel. Do not waste time and effort trying to
maintain that condition. It will turn brown to black with
use. That is the seasoning. It is simply a thin build up of
carbon that makes the griddle non-stick. If you scrub and
use cleansers to make your griddle look like new your food
will stick and you will not enjoy cooking with it.
Never put it in the dishwasher. It will just rust and drive
you crazy.Your griddle is partially seasoned when you
get it but will stick unless you take a few minutes to
season it further. Before using for the first
time wash your griddle in hot water and mild detergent to
easily remove the preservative applied at the factory. The
preservative is not harmful but may add an
undesirable taste to the food.
