Seasoning an outdoor griddle is crucial for maintaining its longevity and functionality. This process prevents rusting and creates a smooth surface, enhancing heat distribution and reducing food sticking. Seasoning involves heating high-heat oils like grape-seed or canola oil on porous metals such as carbon steel or cast iron. When these oils reach their smoke point, they polymerize and bond with the metal surface, filling its pores. Proper seasoning not only protects the griddle from oxidizing but ensures optimal cooking performance.
Properly seasoning a griddle and keeping it seasoned is the best way to prevent rusting and create a smooth, even cooking surface.
The seasoning process involves heating unsaturated fats at high temperatures on porous metals, allowing the fat to polymerize into a nonstick surface.
