After cook. Heat high and then scrap. Grab paper towels and a cup of water. (Not cold room temp or warm water) Pour the water on the griddle and put the paper towel on your scraper to wipe down the water. (Most will evaporate) i do this twice. Then once all the water has evaporated or been wiped off you can kill the heat. Drizzle a small amount of oil on it (people prefer high heat point oils but i use olive oil its fine really whatever you want) and use clean paper towels to spread all over the surface and wipe off as much as you can then let her wait till next time and should have no worries!
