Surface shows signs of rust

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the griddle is placed on a burner that corresponds to its base size for optimal heat distribution. While the pan is pre-seasoned, it is best to continue seasoning it periodically by applying a thin layer of vegetable oil after each wash. Always hand-wash the pan using warm water and avoid harsh detergents or dishwashers, as these will strip away the protective coating. After washing, dry the griddle thoroughly on a stovetop over low heat to ensure all moisture has evaporated, then lightly oil the surface before storing in a dry environment.
