If you are a Blackstone griddle owner, you know that seasoning your grill is a necessary step to achieve the perfect sear on your meats and vegetables. Seasoning is a simple process that requires just a few steps, but it can enhance the taste of your food and extend the lifespan of your griddle. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of seasoning your Blackstone griddle step-by-step, highlighting everything you need to know to get it right.

Seasoning your Blackstone griddle is one of the most crucial steps you can take to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your grill. When you season your griddle, you create a natural, stick-resistant surface that both adds flavor to your dishes and protects the metal plate from rust.

Before you get started, gather the following materials:

• A bucket filled with water
• Blackstone Griddle Seasoning & Cast Iron Conditioner or another high-smoke-point oil
• Heat-resistant gloves or tongs
• Paper towels
• Salt
• Soap powder
• A stick

Start by cleaning your Blackstone griddle with a mixture of soapy water and a cloth, removing any debris or dust from the manufacturing and shipping processes.

Turn on the burners on your Blackstone griddle to the max and wait for the griddle top to start browning. After 10-15 minutes, turn off the burners and let the plate cool slightly.

Next, apply a thin layer of oil to the griddle surface using a high-smoke-point oil, such as Blackstone Griddle Seasoning & Cast Iron Conditioner or canola oil. For best results, apply a thin layer of oil and wipe it evenly across the surface of the griddle using a paper towel or a cloth.

Turn the burners back on to high, and wait for the griddle top to billow with smoke again.

Apply a total of three to four rounds of seasoning to the griddle, allowing the plate to cool down slightly between each round. Once you’ve completed four rounds, let your griddle cool slightly and wipe it down with a final layer of Blackstone Seasoning.

Make sure your griddle is cool to the touch before covering it with a tarp or fitting a specially designed Blackstone Griddle Cover to keep it protected from dust and moisture.

Seasoning your Blackstone griddle is a simple, effective way to enhance the taste of your food and extend the lifespan of your griddle. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create a durable, stick-resistant surface that adds flavor to every dish you cook. Don’t forget to repeat the seasoning process regularly to keep your griddle in tip-top shape!

Yes, you can use other high-smoke-point oils such as canola, vegetable, or flax oil as an alternative to Blackstone Griddle Seasoning & Cast Iron Conditioner.

We recommend seasoning your Blackstone griddle after each use or once a month, depending on how frequently you use it.

One way to keep your Blackstone griddle protected is by covering it with a specially designed Blackstone Griddle Cover when it’s not in use. You should also avoid using metal utensils on the surface, which can scratch the seasoning.

You’ll know when your Blackstone griddle is ready for seasoning when the surface begins to appear dull and dry. If you notice rust spots developing, it’s time to give your griddle a good cleaning and re-seasoning.

Absolutely! Seasoning your Blackstone griddle is a simple process that can easily be done at home with just a few materials and some patience.
