Coleman griddle question

Hello friends,

Well, just a few days left in this teaching year, and I'm heading out for two months of summer camping, third year in a row!

So I bought a new Coleman aluminum griddle. Last year's model wasn't that great on the Coleman stove, it was one of those thin pan-style ones, but this time I got a thicker aluminum one, feels a lot more substantial.

Anyway, a question about seasoning: Coleman recommends wiping it with vegetable oil before first use, and every time thereafter. Should I cover it with veggie oil and then bake it in the oven, alone, at first? Or is simply wiping veggie oil on and then off again sufficient?

Thanks!

Kevin

No you don't need to season it like a cast iron skillet. Just moisten a paper towel with vegetable oil and rub lightly over the surface prior to use and after cleaning.

The aluminum griddle also works well for defrosting frozen meats. They act like a heat-sink and cut defrosting times by more than half. I leave it on the stove-top so air can circulate around it. JM2¢, Hank ... (does not work if you put foam packaging side towards metal. )
