Our E-Series griddle units feature a cast aluminum griddle plate with a durable ceramic-titanium non-stick coating.

Tips for cooking with your E-Series Griddle:

*   Do not use spray oils containing lecithin, as they can damage the non-stick coating. Instead, try our [griddle spray](https://blackstoneproducts.com/products/blackstone-griddle-spray?_pos=45&_sid=46a81e787&_ss=r). 
*   Avoid using metal spatulas, scrapers, or other abrasive tools on the griddle plate. 
*   Allow the unit to fully preheat (15-20) before adding food. 
*   Do not overfill the griddle plate
*   When cooking large quantities, prepare food in smaller batches to minimize heat loss.

 Tips for E-series Griddle Care:

*   Store your griddle indoors.
*   Hand wash only with mild dish soap.
*   Avoid abrasive cleaners and sponges. 

As with all new cooking appliances, practice and experience will help you achieve the best results.
