Initial Seasoning Steps:
- Mencuci: Wash the griddle thoroughly with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the pre-seasoning.
- Kering: Dry the griddle immediately and completely with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. You can also place it on low heat on a stovetop for a few minutes to ensure it's completely dry.
- Oleskan Minyak: Apply a very thin, even layer of high smoke point cooking oil (such as grapeseed, flaxseed, or vegetable oil) to all surfaces of the griddle, both inside and out. Wipe off any excess oil to prevent stickiness.
- Memanggang: Place the griddle upside down in a preheated oven at 375-400°F (190-200°C) for one hour. Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
- Dingin: Turn off the oven and let the griddle cool completely inside the oven.
- Mengulang: For best results, repeat the oiling and baking process 3-4 times. The more you season, the better the non-stick properties and durability.

Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Using the Grill Side (Ridged)
The ridged side is ideal for grilling meats, poultry, and vegetables, creating appealing grill marks and allowing excess fat to drain away. Preheat the griddle slowly over medium heat for 5-10 minutes before adding food. A small amount of oil can be applied to the ridges if desired, but a well-seasoned griddle should require minimal oil.
Using the Griddle Side (Flat)
The flat griddle side is perfect for cooking breakfast items like pancakes, eggs, bacon, and French toast, as well as sandwiches and other flat foods. Ensure the griddle is properly seasoned for best non-stick results. Preheat slowly over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil if needed.
