Do NOT do this when seasoning your flat top griddle! #warning #bbqfam

a flattop griddle is a great grill to have in your arsenal I'm gonna show you how to properly season this so it could provide you years and years and years of extended fun grilling experiences because I love you guys seriously except for you grill sergeant here I'm going to show you how to properly season it let's start the show what I did what's up at the pointing [Music] now when I got the griddle it said it basically came pre-seasoned but just due to shipping and stuff like that I just see a lot of like shipping residue and there's basically marks on here so what we're gonna do is we're basically gonna give this a thorough clean down and basically start from scratch so the first thing we're gonna do is basically get a bowl of soapy water now this is the first time and the last time that soap is gonna touch this griddle so while this flattop griddle is not cast-iron we're pretty much going to treat it like cast iron so we're basically we have a bowl of soapy water and this will be the first time and last time so ever coming [Music] this the grid all sorts I'm just going to do is we're just going to wipe down all areas we're going to do the sides we are going to do it behind we're gonna do the backs is basically you want to cover the whole thing now we're gonna take a dry rag alright now that we got the surface basically cleaned and dried off what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up the propane tank so both burners are on high right now we're gonna give this about 10-15 minutes to come to temperature and then we're going to put our first coating of oil on it so right now we're about 10 minutes in and you're gonna start seeing some discoloration and that's completely normal right now I'm looking at a temperature reading and this is you know well past 5:50 right now so we're gonna give it a few more minutes and then we're gonna start applying our oil alright for seasoning a little safety gear we want to get some gloves on para tongs and a cotton cloth to wipe this down take it my experience it really hurts beautiful all right it's been 15 minutes and now this griddle top is ready to season I have grapeseed oil you can use flaxseed oil avocado oil so pretty much what we're gonna do is just start putting some really light thin coats and just taking a cotton cloth and basically just rubbing it in you don't want to put too much on but just you know just just enough to you know basically spread it all over [Music] you'll be surprised you really don't need a lot of oil for this part a little oil goes a long alright so we got our first coating on we're gonna wait about 10 15 minutes or pretty much when we see this the smoke from the oil you know stop basically smoking and then what we're gonna do is repeat the process again we'll do it about three to four times before this thing is basically you know fully fully seasoned in all right fourth time here we go I feel like a priest like I bless you griddle may you feed many many kids with this so during this process make sure you stay well hydrated Cheers and also when you're seasoning the griddle your griddle is going to go from this very very light gray to a very very dark brownish gray color that's when you know is Holy See's well this concludes seasoning the flattop griddle I can't wait to try this thing I will post a link up for the first cook on it which I'm probably gonna do breakfast burrito so we'll see but yeah thanks for watching if you haven't already subscribe hit that like button and I'll see you next time drill sergeant out cheers guys [Music] [Applause] I got all of my information from Kent with daddy - barbecue so even if this was completely wrong let's just blame it on him
