Tips to get the most from your Slate griddle
- Season the carbon steel surface before first use to build a protective patina and enhance nonstick performance.
- Preheat thoroughly to ensure even cooking across the 756 sq in surface—start with high heat for searing, then reduce for delicate items.
- Use the temperature gauge to manage multi-zone cooking and keep foods at their ideal doneness without constant flipping.
- Keep the cabinet organized with frequently used tools on the shelves; wipe down porcelain surfaces after use to maintain the finish.
