How To Season A Wolf Griddle

Seasoning Your Wolf Griddle: A Step-by-Step Guide

So, you’ve just invested in a brand new Wolf griddle and you’re eager to get cooking. But before you start whipping up delicious meals, it’s crucial to properly season your griddle. Seasoning not only helps to create a non-stick surface, but it also protects the griddle from rust and corrosion, ensuring its longevity. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of seasoning your Wolf griddle to perfection.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following supplies:

• Vegetable oil or flaxseed oil
• Paper towels or a clean cloth
• Warm, soapy water
• Soft-bristled brush or sponge

Cleaning the Griddle

Start by cleaning the griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft-bristled brush or sponge. This will remove any manufacturing residues or impurities, ensuring that the seasoning adheres properly to the surface. Rinse the griddle with clean water and dry it completely with a towel.

Applying Oil

Once the griddle is clean and dry, it’s time to apply the oil. Use a high-smoke-point oil such as vegetable oil or flaxseed oil. Apply a thin layer of oil to the entire surface of the griddle, including the sides. Use a paper towel or clean cloth to spread the oil evenly and remove any excess. The goal is to create a thin, uniform coating of oil on the griddle.

Heating the Griddle

With the oil applied, it’s time to heat the griddle. Turn on your Wolf griddle and set the temperature to medium-high. Allow the griddle to heat up until it starts to smoke. Heating the oil will open up the pores of the griddle’s surface, allowing the oil to penetrate and bond with the metal.

Cooling and Repeating

Once the griddle starts smoking, turn off the heat and allow the griddle to cool completely. As the griddle cools, the oil will form a protective layer, creating a non-stick surface. You may need to repeat this process several times to achieve the desired level of seasoning. Each time you season the griddle, it will become darker and more non-stick.

Maintaining Your Seasoned Griddle

After seasoning your Wolf griddle, it’s important to maintain its non-stick surface. After each use, clean the griddle with a soft-bristled brush or sponge and hot water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can strip away the seasoning. Apply a thin layer of oil after each use to keep the griddle well-seasoned and protected.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Wolf griddle is properly seasoned and ready to use for all your cooking adventures. With the right care and maintenance, your seasoned griddle will continue to provide delicious results for years to come.

Happy cooking!
