YETI® Carbon Steel Griddle

Sear salmon, fry eggs, sauté veggies–the possibilities are endless. From high-heat
operations to low-and-slow warming, any dish that uses fats and oils to cook is ideal for the Carbon Steel Griddle. The griddle is ergonomic, multi-purpose, and compatible with all cooktops, ovens, grills, and campfires.

Your griddle comes pre-seasoned for non-toxic non-stick performance, and will become even more non-stick over time as you cook with oils and fats. For best results, preheat your griddle before adding any food. Place it over medium heat on your stove for a few minutes, and test its readiness with water droplets. If they dance and instantly evaporate, you’re good to start cooking with a drizzle of oil.

Preheat it gradually, using medium heat to slowly warm the griddle (see point on water
droplets above). We encourage cooking with high-smoke-point oils like canola and avocado, but always be careful to watch for burning. Try not to leave food on the griddle for extended periods of time, and remember that acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, and vinegar-based sauces will remove the pre-seasoned layer and could potentially affect its non-stick performance. But don’t worry, the oil or fat from your next meal will restore its non-stick in no time.

Your griddle is up for any challenge, but keep in mind that acidic foods like tomatoes, wine, and balsamic vinegar should be avoided as they can remove the griddle’s pre-seasoning layer and could potentially affect its non-stick performance. Rest easy, though: you can always restore your griddle’s seasoning through repeated uses with sufficient oil each time.

We recommend washing it by hand using dish soap. If some of the griddle’s seasoning strips in the process, don’t worry. The oil or fat from your next meal will help re-season it. Just make sure you don’t put your Carbon Steel Griddle in the dishwasher.

No, it is meant to be hand washed only.

There is no amount of scrubbing that can't be fixed with some additional seasoning and TLC, but keep in mind that using an abrasive material like steel wool can potentially scratch the surface of your griddle and remove the seasoning layer.

Yes.

Make sure the Carbon Steel Griddle is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place. After hand washing, heat your griddle on the stove to evaporate any residual water. Once the griddle is dry, add and rub in a light layer of oil to maintain the griddle’s seasoning and rust-resistance before storing. Do not leave it outside.
