How to season a new Blackstone griddle is probably the #1 question that new flat top grill owners have… You may be nervous about getting the seasoning process right or wondering what oil to use to season your griddle. Well, I’m here to help!

I’ve seasoned a TON of cast iron pieces and some other griddle brands as well, and this seasoning process works great every time.

Since your Blackstone griddle is brand new, you want to start by knocking down some of the higher points on the griddle surface (run your hand over it before you turn it on and you’ll see what I’m talking about). You can use a grill brick, but I just used some 120 grit sandpaper to knock off the high edges a bit from the surface.


Then, get a bowl of warm soapy water (dish soap is fine) and wash the surface of the griddle so that you’re starting with a clean surface before applying your seasoning.
Next, make sure that you use fresh water to rinse the soap off and then let the griddle dry completely.
And then it’s time to season your new Blackstone griddle! We used Crisco for this seasoning, but you can also use avocado oil, the Blackstone Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner, or most other oils.
We just applied about 1-2 tablespoons of Crisco to the pre-heated surface and used some long grill tongs and a few paper towels to evenly distribute the oil all over the griddle surface, and the inside and outside edges.
The key here is to apply MANY MINI (or thin) layers… We applied 5 layers of seasoning on our new Blackstone griddle.
Once you get the first coat of shortening or oil down, let it heat for about 5-10 minutes or until the smoke starts to die way down… You’ll notice that there is less smoke “rolling” off the surface of the griddle. Then, it’s time to apply another thin coat of your Crisco or oil using the tongs and paper towels, let it heat again until the smoke slows, and then apply another coat.
And then you’ve seasoned your new Blackstone and you’re ready for the first cook!
