Lion Griddle Plate

Since this plate is made of stainless steel and lacks a non-stick coating, it is best to season it before your first cook. Simply heat the plate, apply a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil, and let it burn off to create a natural, stick-resistant surface.

While it is designed for gas grills, you can use it on a charcoal grill as long as the griddle sits level on your existing grates. Just be mindful that charcoal heat can be more intense and harder to regulate, so keep a close eye on your food to prevent burning.

No, this is a heavy-duty stainless steel plate without a chemical non-stick coating. You will need to use a little oil or butter while cooking to prevent food from sticking, similar to how you would treat a professional restaurant flat-top.

The best way to clean it is to scrape off any food residue while the plate is still warm. Once it has cooled, you can wash it by hand with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive scouring pad; avoid putting it in the dishwasher to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel.

Yes, the handle is designed for safe placement and removal. However, we recommend using it primarily for positioning the plate when you are setting up your grill, rather than moving it around frequently while it is fully loaded with food.
