PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES
As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has
microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order to
provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.
a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle
surface
c. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or
until it smokes.
d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is
removed.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the
griddle has a slick, clean surface.
CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are filled by the
chrome plating, no seasoning of the griddle surface is required.
a. Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth
and a small amount of mild detergent.
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
c. The griddle is now ready to use.
IMPORTANT: SCRATCHES
WILL DAMAGE THE
CHROMESURFACE!
DO NOT use anything on a
Chrome griddle that could
scratch the surface.
DO NOT clean chrome surface
with griddle bricks, pumice
stone or abrasive cleansers.
