Care & Maintenance

To keep your Broil King Cast Iron Griddle in peak condition and prevent rust, follow these simple steps:

First Time Use

1. Wash Your Grids

• Wash the cooking grids with mild dish soap and water.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a towel.
• Never air-dry the grids and never use a dishwasher.

2. Season Your Grids

Apply Oil to the Grids
Coat both sides of the cast iron grids generously using a Broil King® oil mister or a silicone brush. Ensure every surface is evenly covered.

Use High-Smoke-Point Oils Only

• Avocado Oil – 260°C / 500°F
• Rice Bran Oil – 255°C / 500°F
• Canola Oil – 204°C / 400°F

Do Not Use:

• Salted fats such as margarine or butter
• Non-stick cooking sprays (they burn off at low heat)

3. Light the Grill

• Light your grill and set it to Medium/Low (400°F / 200°C).
• Heat for 30 minutes to bake on the oil and create a non-stick protective layer.
• Turn the grill off and allow the grids to cool.

Your grids are now seasoned and ready to use.
