7.3 Seasoning the griddle plate
Seasoning is a process by which a layer of animal fat or
vegetable oil is applied and baked into the cookware. If the
griddle plate seems to lose its non-stick abilities over time,
seasoning can help regain the griddle’s non-stick proper-
ties.
Note: The 24" griddle plate is too wide to fit in the oven
cavity. Follow the instructions in this section if your appli-
ance has a 12" griddle plate.
1.
The griddle plate must be clean and all residue re-
moved before the griddle plate is seasoned.
‒
Before seasoning or re-seasoning your griddle plate,
buff off any residue with a mixture of coarse salt and
a small amount of white vinegar.
‒
Rinse well with clean water.
‒
Dry the griddle plate thoroughly.
2. Use a paper towel to apply a thin, even coating of lard,
shortening, or olive oil to the griddle surface.
3. Bake the griddle plate in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for
1 hour.
4. Remove the griddle plate from the oven and allow to
cool to room temperature.
5. Apply another layer, bake and let cool at least 2 more
times.
