Condiment inicial

Before first use, it is crucial to season the griddle surface. This process creates a natural non-stick coating and protects the cast iron from rust. To season:

1. Ensure the griddle surface is clean and dry.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of high smoke point cooking oil (such as flaxseed, avocado, or grapeseed oil) over the entire griddle surface.
3. Heat the griddle on medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke and burn off, turning the surface dark.
4. Allow the griddle to cool slightly, then repeat steps 2-3 several times until a dark, even patina is formed.

While the griddle is still warm (but not excessively hot), pour a small amount of water onto the surface. Use a griddle scraper to push food debris and grease into the rear grease trap. For stubborn residue, use a heat-proof scrubbing pad. After scraping, wipe the surface clean with paper towels. Once dry, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to re-season and protect the surface until the next use.
