How to Season a Blackstone Griddle
Seasoning a Blackstone griddle is an important step in ensuring that it will cook food evenly and prevent food from sticking. The seasoning process creates a thin layer of polymerized oil on the surface of the griddle, which acts as a non-stick coating.
To season a Blackstone griddle, you will need:
- A Blackstone griddle
- A high-heat cooking oil, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil
- A paper towel
- A clean rag
Instructions:
- Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot water and soap.
- Dry the griddle completely with a paper towel.
- Pour a thin layer of oil onto the griddle.
- Use the paper towel to spread the oil evenly over the surface of the griddle.
- Heat the griddle over high heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the griddle cool completely.
Your Blackstone griddle is now seasoned and ready to use!
Here are some additional tips for seasoning a Blackstone griddle:
- Use a high-heat cooking oil. This will help to create a more durable seasoning layer.
- Apply a thin layer of oil. A thick layer of oil will not polymerize properly and can lead to food sticking.
- Heat the griddle over high heat. This will help to polymerize the oil and create a more durable seasoning layer.
- Let the griddle cool completely before using it. This will help to ensure that the seasoning layer is fully cured.
With a little care and attention, your Blackstone griddle will provide you with years of delicious meals.
