Seasoning Steps:

Step 1: Preheat the Griddle

Turn your griddle to medium-high heat, letting it preheat thoroughly. This step is crucial for opening up the griddle's pores to accept the oil better.

Step 2: Apply Oil

Choose a high smoke-point oil. Apply a thin layer over the entire griddle surface.

Step 3: Heating the Oil

Let the oil cook off and form a protective layer.

Step 4: Repeat the Process

For best results, you may want to repeat the oiling and heating process a few more times.

Maintaining Your Seasoned Weber Griddle

Maintaining your seasoning is vital for longevity. Never use soap; instead, use a damp cloth for cleaning.
