BURNER FLAMES
Always check the burner flame patterns after lighting. A good flame
should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimal amount
of flicker. Some yellow tips are OK if they are smaller than 2.5 cm (1").
New burners sometimes have oil residue, which will cause yellow flame
when burning off. Variations in gas supply, altitude, weather, and other
factors can all impact burner performance. Older griddles can also show
more yellow flame due to food deposit, oil, and fat buildup.
SEASONING GUIDE
Seasoning your cooking griddle will help create relative non-stick surface for cooking while also protecting it
against oxidization. When you receive your griddle it will already have a thin layer of oil applied on the griddle.
That has been done to protect the griddle from rust during shipping and storing, that is normal.
FIRST SEASONING:
1. Wash off the shipping oil by using soapy water and a towel or paper towels. Rinse off the soap and air dry.
2. Next, apply some virgin olive oil or other vegetable oil on the griddle surface. Using a paper towel to rub a thin
coat of oil on the entire surface of the griddle.
3. Turn on your griddle at medium-high heat. The oil will eventually begin to smoke which is good. Leave it heating
until the smoke stops. Turn off your griddle.
4. Let the surface cool down and repeat above process for 2-3 times until you get a nice black surface on the
griddle. Once you've completed this process, you'll have a perfect grilling surface to get cooking on! Use
long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters. Proceed to "PREHEATING".
*After you are done using your griddle you should apply a very thin coat of cooking oil to maintain your seasoning
bond and protect it from rust.
PREHEATING
It is necessary to preheat the griddle before cooking, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature.
Preheat the gas griddle on MEDIUM/HIGH for 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are
grilling. Next, brush or spray the cooking griddle with olive or vegetable oil to prevent food from sticking.
