Let the skillet 'bake' in a 300-degree-F oven for one hour, then remove and wipe off the excess. Spraying with a non-stick shortening after each use can also help season the pan. Bayou Classic makes a full range of heavy-duty cookers and cookware for the outdoor chef. --Ann Bieri Bayou Classic Cast Iron Cookware is excellent for hunting, fishing, camping, scouting, and your own backyard. With quality construction that sets the industry standard, they are made heavy duty, rough and rugged. Use the flat griddle for pancakes, eggs and bacon.

Use it to grill sandwiches and meats, or to cook your world-famous, all-you-can-eat breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, veggies, French toast, and pancakes. The easy-to-clean nonstick surface is reinforced with stainless steel, which forms a permanent base for the nonstick coating. That means it will last up to 100 times longer than other nonsticks--thus its name, the "Ultimate Griddle." The recessed channel drains away excess fats from your bacon or sausage. The commercial-grade cast aluminum conducts heat more evenly than other surfaces, and at lower temperatures--in fact, you should use only low-to-medium heat with this griddle. As an added feature, the superconductive aluminum also works well to thaw frozen foods without the use of heat (steaks in 30-45 minutes, chicken in 20-30). Use only wooden, nylon, or nonmetallic utensils. Hand wash without abrasives. --Doree Armstrong Large Griddle Surface
