Answer:

To prevent food from sticking, season the griddle prior to initial use and after thorough Griddle Cleaning. This can also be referred to as a burn-in process.

• Avoid using too much oil, it can cause sticking and gummy issues.
• Wolf recommends vegetable or peanut oil for seasoning because of their high smoke points.
• See also, Cooking with a Griddle.
• New units have a coat of mineral oil on the griddle surface to prevent rust and oxidation during shipping and storage. Remove the coating as per above.
• The manufacturing oil is gray in color, and may show up on a paper towel when wiping it down.
