This lm should remain on the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3.
Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another lm of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again remove
excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
