Here’s What You’ll Need

Seasoning your griddle top is simple and requires just a few tools you probably already have laying around the house. All you’ll need is a clean cloth dampened with a bit of water, a pair of grilling tongs, any kind of cooking oil, and a roll of paper towels. Got it all? Sweet! Let’s do this.

Step 1

First, wipe down your griddle top’s cooking surface with a damp towel.

Step 2

Once the cooking surface is nice and clean, go ahead and fire up your main burners to a HIGH heat setting, then let your grill heat up for 10-15 minutes. If the surface of your griddle top begins to darken and discolor as it heats up, don’t worry! That’s completely normal.

Step 3

Once your grill is plenty hot, apply cooking oil to the griddle top, using your tongs and a wad of paper towels to spread the oil evenly across the entire cooking surface – even the edges and sides.

Step 4

Once the oil is evenly distributed, simply let it cook. When most of the oil appears to be burnt off the surface, repeat this process two or three more times. After three full cycles, your griddle top will be fully seasoned and ready to grill. Nice work!

You’re Officially Good to Grill

And here’s even more good news. After this initial seasoning process, regular use of your griddle top will keep it well-seasoned, so all you have to worry about is what’s on the menu. Score!
