Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the SafBbcue Cast Iron Griddle & Grate from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the griddle and grate with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust.
3. Seasoning (Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance and rust prevention, season the cast iron. Apply a thin, even layer of high smoke point cooking oil (e.g., flaxseed, grapeseed, or vegetable oil) to all surfaces. Place the griddle/grate on your grill or in an oven at 350-400°F (175-200°C) for 1 hour. Let it cool completely. Repeat this process 2-3 times for best results.
4. Placement on Grill/Fire Pit: Position the griddle and grate combo directly onto the cooking surface of your 22" Weber Kettle Charcoal Grill or Cuisinart COH-800 Cleanburn Fire Pit. Ensure it sits securely.

Operating Instructions

The SafBbcue Cast Iron Griddle & Grate offers versatile cooking options. Always ensure the unit is properly seasoned before use.

1. Grilling (Grate Section)

• Place charcoal or wood directly under the grate section for direct heat grilling.
• Ideal for searing meats like steaks and chicken, creating distinct grill marks.
• Adjust heat by controlling the amount of fuel and grill vents.

2. Griddling (Flat Section)

• Use the flat griddle section for cooking items that require a solid surface, such as eggs, pancakes, bacon, or smash burgers.
• Ensure the griddle is preheated to the desired temperature before adding food.
• A small amount of cooking oil or butter can be added to the griddle surface to prevent sticking.

3. Simultaneous Cooking (2-in-1 Functionality)

• Utilize both the griddle and grate sections at the same time for a complete meal. For example, grill burgers on the grate while cooking onions and peppers on the griddle.
• The hinged design allows you to lift one side of the griddle/grate to add more charcoal or wood to your fire pit or grill without removing all food.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your cast iron griddle and grate.

• Cleaning After Use: While still warm, scrape off any food residue with a metal spatula or grill scraper. For stubborn bits, use hot water and a stiff brush. Avoid harsh soaps as they can strip the seasoning.
• Grease Trap: The integrated grease trap helps manage excess grease. Ensure it is cleaned regularly.
• Re-seasoning: After cleaning, dry the griddle/grate completely. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to all surfaces to maintain seasoning and prevent rust. Heat it briefly on the grill or in an oven until the oil smokes, then let it cool.
• Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent rust. If stacking, place a paper towel between pieces to absorb moisture.
• Dishwasher Safety: This product is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
• Utensils: Use wooden or silicone cookware to prevent damaging the coating during cooking.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SafBbcue Cast Iron Griddle & Grate, consider the following:

• Food Sticking: This is often due to insufficient seasoning or not enough cooking oil. Ensure the griddle is well-seasoned and preheated, and apply a thin layer of oil before adding food.
• Rust: Cast iron can rust if not properly dried and seasoned after cleaning. If rust appears, scrub it off with steel wool, wash, dry, and re-season immediately.
• Uneven Heating: Ensure your charcoal or wood is evenly distributed beneath the griddle/grate. For kettle grills, proper vent management is crucial for consistent heat.
