Original 28" XL Griddle with Hood

The Original 28” XL Griddle with Hood is not your typical griddle. With three independently controlled heat zones you have more control over the griddle plate allowing you to cook your main dishes and side dishes simultaneously at different temperatures. Convenient additional features like the magnetic toolbar for easy access to accessories and the paper towel holder for easy cleanup make this griddle a must-have for cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

How do I season my griddle?

To start off, get a bowl of warm, soapy water and a dish towel to wipe down your griddle top and remove any dust or debris. Then, rinse your griddle top clean. Once clean, heat your griddle on high heat until your griddle top changes color. At that point, use tongs to hold a paper towel or cotton cloth and spread 2-3 tablespoons of your seasoning oil across the griddle surface. When seasoning your griddle top, remember to use a thin and even layer of oil—the thinner the layer of oil, the easier it will be to burn it off. The heat of the griddle will break down the oil and bond it to the metal, creating a new polymer that acts as a stick resistant and protective layer over the griddle. You will know it is done when it stops smoking. You will want to repeat this 3-4 times for your initial seasoning. Your first couple cooks, food might stick a little. Don’t worry--just keep cooking and oiling it before and after each use. As the seasoning builds, the better your griddle seasoning will get. Remember, your griddle top is made of steel. If needed, it is easy to resurface and re-season again.

What do I do in between cooks on my griddle?

Before you cook on your griddle, wipe a very thin layer of any cooking oil on it. After you’re done cooking and you’ve scraped and cleaned your griddle, add a very thin layer of Blackstone’s Seasoning & Conditioner or cooking oil to your griddle and spread it around with a paper towel or cotton cloth. This will protect it from the elements and prep it for your next cook.

What oil is best to use?

After years of testing and cooking on griddles we created our own mixture. The Blackstone Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner is the best and easiest way to get consistent results. This unique blend of oils combines the best of many different cooking oils. You can purchase the Blackstone Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner at select retailers as well as on our website here.

How do I clean my griddle top?

Griddle tops are similar to cast iron in their use and care. When cleaning either, the most important things to remember are you should use minimal water, never use soap, and always finish with a light layer of oil to protect your seasoning.
