Based on the manufacturer's recommendations provided, using Easy-Off on a griddle is generally not recommended.
While the reference doesn't specifically mention "griddle," it lists several surfaces and materials that should not be cleaned with Easy-Off. Griddles often fall into one of these excluded categories.
What the Manufacturer Recommends
The provided information outlines specific uses and restrictions for Easy-Off oven & grill cleaner:
- Ideal for cleaning ovens/oven doors, BBQ grills, broilers/broiler pans and stainless steel surfaces.
- Easy-Off oven & grill cleaner is not recommended to be used on stovetops, continuous or self cleaning ovens, as well as stainless steel cookware, aluminum, teflon, or chrome surfaces.
Why Griddles Are Generally Not Recommended
Griddles are flat cooking surfaces that can be integrated into stovetops, standalone electric appliances, or cast iron/metal inserts used on stovetops or grills. Looking at the list of surfaces where Easy-Off is not recommended, several are directly relevant to griddles:
- Stovetops: Many griddles are either part of a stovetop or used directly on a stovetop surface.
- Aluminum, Teflon, or Chrome Surfaces: These materials are commonly used in the construction of various griddle types.
- Stainless Steel Cookware: While general stainless steel surfaces are recommended, stainless steel cookware is specifically excluded. This could apply to stainless steel griddle pans or surfaces.
Given these exclusions, most common types of griddles are covered by the surfaces and materials where Easy-Off is explicitly not recommended.
Recommended vs. Not Recommended Surfaces (Based on Reference)
Here's a summary based only on the provided information:
| Recommended Surfaces | Not Recommended Surfaces |
|---|---|
| Ovens/Oven Doors | Stovetops |
| BBQ Grills | Continuous or Self Cleaning Ovens |
| Broilers/Broiler Pans | Stainless Steel Cookware |
| Stainless Steel Surfaces | Aluminum Surfaces |
| Teflon Surfaces | |
| Chrome Surfaces |
As "griddle" is not listed as a recommended surface, and common griddle types and materials appear on the "Not Recommended" list (stovetops, aluminum, teflon, stainless steel cookware), its use on griddles is not advised according to the manufacturer's guidelines presented.
Always check the specific care instructions for your griddle and the cleaning product label before use.
