GE APPLIANCES JXGRIDL230 misc range accessories

Griddle's surface is very rough. Definitely not non-stick.

First of all, I have to wonder why there is a warning (mandatory in California) that this griddle may produce cancer-causing chemicals. Secondly, I have had mine for a while and there were NO care instructions in the box, and I note that the reviews from people who clearly did not know how to treat cast-iron have been removed- I don't know if they include instructions now but not everyone knows how to treat cast iron. I do remember and this griddle looked like and acted like regular cast iron so that is how I treat it. It is a decent griddle and when properly seasoned, you can flip eggs on it which is the ultimate challenge for a griddle-but whatever the top layer is, it is too thin and eventually flakes off, and when I say "eventually" I mean after about 50 uses. Once more, instructions and cautions would have been great ( I do not recall there being a description when I bought it) and quality could be better.
