We see a lot of griddle seasoning mistakes... So if you're unhappy with your griddle seasoning OR you're worried about seasoning your brand new griddle, then watch this video for some of the things NOT to do when seasoning a flat top grill!
We get a TON of questions about seasoning outdoor griddles, and these are some of the common mistakes that we see griddle beginners making... don't do these things!
Learn what oil to use for griddle seasoning (and what popular oil we DON'T recommend), why your griddle has sticky spots, and why you've got deep brown streaks on your griddle when you scrape it.
I've seasoned a bunch of different griddles over the years, and here's what I've learned along the way...

You should look up the science of how oil polymerizes. A low smoke point at the first seasoning layer is optimal. Flax seed oil does have a weakness of becoming a hard polimer which can crack and flake. So a slightly softer polymerizing oil is preferable. But you DO want the oil to smoke so that it converts from a monomer into a polimer. A lower smoke point oil converts at a lower temperature than a high smoke point oil. This is safer and can prevent warping your grill.

Man you covered everything!!! the griddle gets extremely hot!! long utensils are a must! your seasoning instructions were on point. 5 thin coats, letting each coat burn off and stop smoking before adding the next. thank you. Most people don't cover what type of oil to use and why you should use that oil.. they just tell you to use oil. the detail and thoroughness is very much appreciated!!!!! it makes a difference for people that aren't experienced on a griddle.

If you use a lower smoke point oil the outside, if they get to 400 can be seasoned, so it just depends on what the temperature on your outside borders get to. Nine happens to be seasoned because it gets hot enough.

I am a pellet grill, kind of guy… Just bought my first griddle… It is a 3 burner Traeger Flatrock.. I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting one, and although I have the money, the price is always been a deterrent.. With that said, when I found one already assembled on clearance at Home Depot yesterday & walked out the door with it for ONLY $405, well I think it was just meant to be.. That’s when I found your video and now I’m about to go out here and forget everything I know about cast-iron and see how good your advice works in real life… Thank you so much for this video you gained to subscriber

I guess I didn't let mine get that bad, but after a fry or two, it was back to normal! I have Wagner and Brand WhoKnowsWhat (old Lodge maybe) skillets that eggs and pancakes just slide right out!

Great video, Good information. I agree I think 99% of the griddle season issues go back to "rushing" the process. In this day and age of instant gratification having to learn to be patient can be very hard. My first season was a complete disaster partly because I rushed it and partly because I didn't' understand that methods of seasoning 40 years ago are NOT the same as they are today. Your explanation of that made it seem like a no brainer, but there I was!! LOL> I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos even though they seem lengthy I think you've got it down to about as fast as you can disperse GOOD information. Again this goes back to having to learn the lesson of patience.

I did my seasoning and did 5 treatments, however I did have some wind that day and not sure if the edge’s were not getting hot enough because they didn’t blacken like the middle to 2-3 inches from edge. I have ordered some wind shields for my griddle. I would like to know if you would suggest doing another seasoning session ‘JUST’ for the edges that didn’t get the black conditioning?

The way people respond is enough to make the ones who asked the question want to leave the group. (My opinion) It’s such a great group but it’s hard to view when it’s the same topic over and over.

Barking up the same tree...you would be amazed how many questions are asked when I literally made a video about that same topic...which tells me how little of the surface I have scratched...one thing for sure as it grows it seems to grow with newer people...thus the same things are being asked,,,the ONE thing I CANT NOT STAND is a legit question regardless how many time is the crappy responses...that are 100 wrong...

Great compilation Video Neal- I found it interesting that all of the points you touched on were things that I have heard you say numerous times throughout your cooking videos . Great information for beginners and a lot of good griddling common sense there. I have taken advantage of all of those tips and my griddle works and looks great. Thanks !

Watched a bunch of your other videos. Wish I would’ve caught this one before I did my seasoning. On the 5th coat threw down a bit too much oil and while wiping it around oil splash up from a corner and got me right on one of my eyelids. Lesson learned. Then first cook tried one scrambled egg just to find out I had one small area that still was not non stick. Eggs still turned out good. Cleaning it was a pain. Followed your tips and now we’re cooking😂

Love your videos - very detailed and informative. I just bought the 28" Weber. After a couple cooks I have spots that seem to have the seasoning removed. There are also spots where the tools seem to scratch the seasoning off. I also get the white areas if I scrape the top cold like you did in the video. Under seasoned? Should I just scrape it and re-season it or do I need to do something to remove the seasoning I have on it first? - Thanks

Yeah that quick something is wrong somewhere....i would guess...without being there from the beginning that the actual seasoning was not set properly....Just my opinion....maybe Scrape to get the junk off....clean and reseason....

Thank you for making this video! This is great! I just got the CB professional gas grill with those infrared plates and a griddle. I realized I've seasoned it all wrong! I used to be a chargoal grill snob, but the cleaning got too much with my 3 yr old wanting to do a BBQ everyday with the rising temps in the northeast. I do have a question: I'm thinking of making paella on my griddle. I've done it on charcoal grills before using the paella pan, where I'd cook the rice as well. I guess here I'm thinking par boiled rice in a large omlette ring and adding chicken broth intermittently to flavorize...or would you suggest cooking it in some sort of a pan on the griddle? (I miss my charcoal days 😞. Simpler times!)

Thanks for the help. I am a newbie and I wish I had of found you before I started seasoning my Blackstone, it is the 36" 4 burner. I think I messed it up and need to start over. Can this be done to just strip it down and start with one of the oils you have shown? I used Lard and I didn't let the smoke disappear and there is too much oil on the griddle. So, I think that I need to start over. My griddle look's nothing like your after you have finished. 👍

Great stuff here! I was just "attempting" to re-season my Blackstone 22" yesterday as I sanded it all down and put it in my Weber Genesis II to season. It came out nice but the only issue is I used an Olive Oil (suitable for cooking). So you got me wondering about Olive oil so I'll sand that layer down and get some Grapeseed or 100% Avocado oil and do it again. So what's the perfect temp then about 450? And nice when seasoning it this way is the entire surface is the same temp so the sides can be seasoned.

Make sure your griddle or grill is level. Seasoned my griddle accessory with my CB commercial series and wasn't quite level. Caused it to be thicker on one edge where it pooled a bit.

Thanks for the tips. I don't use my BS as often as I should / could. I just went out and checked it and it is smooth as glass except for 2 edges (right and left) which are a little sticky. I will re-watch the video on how to correct that. When working in a commercial kitchen, those flat tops are used all day, everyday. Plus the heat source is entirely different. They are a totally different animal. Plus, I didn't actually do any deep cleaning, that was done for me. There were never any sticky spots, but like I said, they are in constant use. All I had to do was clean as you go. The first mistake I made at home with my BS was not cleaning it well enough while warm. Cleaning a warm flat top well, and not leaving anything on there to cool and gunk up makes a world of difference. Not wanting to waste propane I shut it off and thought, "I'll clean that after dinner." Most videos don't show the cleanup during and after cooking. I know it is a time constraint but it is really important. You are a good teacher, Neal. Thanks.

I worked a line order cook for years. We never used oil when cooking. At the end of the night, we scrapped it down grabbed the fryer basket and waved it over the griddle for oil. Then used a stone to clean it, scrapped that down and called it a night.

Thanks for the info.... I just picked up my first griddle, on sale... a $397 28" Blackstone Pro Series. It was the last one. $180. I'm doing the initial season right now. I sprung for a $10 Blackstone jar, but I'll go with your oil suggestions in the future. So far, I'm on my 3rd thin oil season round. It's looking pretty good so far. I guess my first cook may tell me more.😮

Love the videos. My first seasoning didn’t go well for some reason so I cleaned the top well then washed it down and thoroughly rinsed it. When I seasoned it this time I have many spots maybe 1/8” to 1/4” diameter that are not turning dark. This is a Weber griddle. Could this be poor steel processing? Thanks, Mike

so correct me if i am wrong you leave your fire on and keep it blazing hot while you season it then leave it the same way so it can completely burn off and look dry?? i got a blackstone and am using their seasoning and conditioning stuff? after it is all burned off then apply avocado oil and let it burn off as well? and after it has cooled down do i put a light coat of oil on the top to protect it until I use it??

I purcssed a brand new flat iron griddle from char griller and went ahead to season as oer instructions. So first mistake ive made is, ive used flack seed oil as the owner manual instructions recommended which i have no idea why they did. And second i used too much on the second pass and wasnt keeping an eye on things and it pooled and left a skin and inoticedd an orange flake coming off my griddle. So now what do i do. Try scraping it back and starting again. Or use the block you spoke about and starting again? So now

Wife and kids bought me a my first blacksone for christmas, never owned one, Thanks for the videos it helps. Ive season my griddle and hope i did it right lol. I seasoned with blackstone seasoning that you can buy for blackstone. I put 5 layers on it, did the process and griddle isnt getting black all over like some videos ive seen and what the blackstone seasoning shows on can after process. I figured it may not get black all around cuz it doesnt get that hot around edges, also thought its hard to get to that point since its cold out.

Unfortunately its the design on most of the Blackstones...they do not cook or heat evenly...Im sure they sell enough of them that its not an important issue for them....other manufacturers have nailed it...along with true low temps...they say over time the griddle will blacken over time...I disagree...I have heavily used 2 different models....and mine never did season the edges...
