FAQs
How do I season my carbon steel griddle?
Before first use, clean the griddle, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, heat it to around 300°F (150°C) until smoking, let it cool, and wipe off excess. Repeat this process 2-3 times. Regular cooking also contributes to seasoning.
Can I use this griddle on an induction cooktop?
Carbon steel is generally magnetic and may work on induction, but it depends on the specific cooktop and the griddle's base. It's best to check your induction cooktop's manual for compatibility with flat-top cookware.
What is the best way to clean burnt-on food?
While the griddle is still warm, scrape off debris with a metal spatula. You can add a small amount of water to help loosen stuck food, then scrub with a stiff brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can strip the seasoning.
Is it safe to use metal utensils on the griddle?
Yes, carbon steel is durable enough to withstand metal spatulas and tongs, which are recommended for effective cooking and scraping.
How do I prevent rust?
Always ensure the griddle is completely dry after cleaning. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil after each use and store it in a dry environment. If rust appears, scrub it off and re-season.
What is the maximum temperature the griddle can handle?
The Ferand Carbon Steel Griddle can withstand high temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).
Can I put this griddle in the dishwasher?
No, never put a carbon steel griddle in the dishwasher. The harsh detergents and prolonged moisture will strip the seasoning and cause rust.
Troubleshooting
Griddle is rusting
Ensure the griddle is completely dry after every use. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface after cleaning and before storing. If rust spots appear, scrub them off with steel wool, then re-season the affected area.
Food is sticking
Ensure the griddle is properly seasoned and heated to the correct temperature before adding food. Use adequate cooking oil or butter. Preheating is crucial for non-stick performance.
Uneven cooking
Verify the griddle is placed on a level surface and that the heat source is distributed evenly beneath it. Ensure the griddle itself is preheated thoroughly for uniform heat.
Warping
Avoid extreme temperature shock (e.g., plunging a very hot griddle into cold water). Preheat and cool the griddle gradually. Ensure it is properly supported on a stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Clean the griddle with warm, soapy water before first use to remove any manufacturing residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Season the griddle: Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to the entire surface. Heat the griddle to a moderate temperature (around 300°F / 150°C) until the oil begins to smoke. Let it cool, then wipe off excess oil. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a good base seasoning.
Place the griddle on a stable, level cooking surface such as a gas grill, stovetop, or sturdy outdoor burner.
Compatibility:
Gas Grills: Designed to fit over standard gas grill grates.
Stovetops: Compatible with most gas and electric coil stovetops. *Check your stovetop's weight capacity.* Not typically compatible with glass-ceramic or induction cooktops unless stated otherwise.
Outdoor Burners: Can be used with dedicated outdoor propane burners.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, while the griddle is still warm (but not scorching hot), scrape off food debris with a metal spatula. For stuck-on food, pour some water onto the griddle and scrape. Clean with a stiff brush or scraper. Avoid using harsh detergents or steel wool, which can damage the seasoning.
Seasoning Maintenance: After cleaning and drying, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the surface to protect it from rust.
Storage: Store in a dry place. If storing for an extended period, lightly oil the surface and consider placing a paper towel or cloth between the griddle and any cover to absorb moisture.
