Anyone have one? Just bought one watched all the videos and read how to season. I tried seasoning last night but my griddle never changed colors like the videos. I did 5 layers of seasoning burning off between each layer etc. but no color change. Not sure what I messed up. I will say out of the box my griddle looked darker than the videos I have watched where their griddle was gray/silver out of the box.
 
Turn that thing up full blast and push canola oil on it, super high flash point, catch every inch of it, make it burn. It'll take 5-8 time like that to get it seasoned properly.

Oh yeah I have a portable one for camping. Love it for cooking, a PITA to clean and maintain though, IMO. I deal with it though, kids need to eat 🤣
 
Here is a photo after I did 5 seasonings on it.

Looked it up, found a video showing how to season, turn it on high, spread cooking oil on it, let smoke off, spreading around with a pair of tongs, until the oil burns off. Repeat 4 more times, then ready to use. The griddle plate is composed of high carbon steel, so you must season properly or it will be prone to rust.
 
We use a couple of these at Metal Dash weekend. There are usually 50 families there, so we use a couple of these to cook up breakfast for everyone.
