Thank you for this. I’d be out here the whole day the way Weber wants you to season a griddle. Your method turned out great and just under 90 minutes total. 💯🏆

just found this. awesome channel. coincidentally just got weber E 335 from ace. nice...

You know shop towels have a large percentage of latex in them, right? That’s why they are durable. Not sure I’d use them on my griddle, but I understand your train of thought.

Thank you for your videos. Learning so much. Just ordered the weber full griddle insert for my Genesis grill from Ace. Learning how to season the griddle. Do I need to season the bottom underside of the griddle too? If not, then will the bottom side get rust? Thank you for all your help.

Hi Eunice, the bottom side is coated and should be fine without any seasoning, I season the griddle surface and then when done store it in the griddle insert bag. keeps it well protected. Happy Cooking, Chef Jason

The underside of mine started to rust within weeks. Weber said to apply a coat of oil after a rust removing procedure. They should have recommended that in the beginning. Hopefully now they do.

Do you turn off the griddle and let it completely cool down then heat up in between coats?

I just seasoned my griddle for the first time. I found it was a little sticky after it cooled, can I still try and burn off any excess oil and do 1 more season? I scraped and wiped some of the stickiness off. Would this be ok or do I have to clean and start again?

@ChefJasonMorse

Hi Shannon, I would cook on it 1 or 2 times and diff if that helps, clean it in between cooks and that stickiness should go away or settle down. how many layers did you do for the seasoning and what oil did you use?? Chef Jason

@@ChefJasonMorse I used canola oil and I did about 4 rounds. I did go back and scrap and re-season and it was perfect. We did do another rookie mistake and I hope it can fix itself overtime, but when we were finished cooking, I think we may have tried to clean it too soon after cooking and when we were putting the water on to deglaze it, it would just evaporate. SO we poured a little more on and one side went up. I think it warped it a little. It are down and is a little flatter, but a little off. Is there anything we can do for that? I should probably say we are newbies to griddles.

whats the reason the manual says to let cool between seasonings?

Any other oils we can use besides seed and vegetable oil? Lard, tallow, ghee?

@ChefJasonMorse

20 күн бұрын

I use things with a higher smoke point and always make sure they contain the fat and no added salts or things. Lard - Smoke Point of 375˚F | Tallow - Smoke Point of 425˚F | Ghee - Smoke Point of 485˚F. What I read about Ghee is that because of its higher saturated fat content, it's the best of the 3 because higher saturated fat oils remain stable at higher cooking temps. Hope that helps, Chef Jason

I like my method as I think the higher temp and extra coating (4 total) makes for a better polymerization and bond. More non stick like properties. Easier to clean and maintain too. Both methods are good, I feel like mine has a slight edge! Chef Jason
