Seasoning a new Blackstone griddle is an essential step to prepare it for cooking. Applying oil to the griddle surface and heating it creates a protective layer that prevents rust, enhances non-stick properties, and improves overall performance.
Properly seasoned griddles offer numerous benefits. They resist corrosion, extending the griddle’s lifespan. The seasoned surface allows food to release easily, reducing sticking and making cleanup a breeze. Moreover, seasoned griddles promote even heat distribution, ensuring consistent cooking results.
