Should every cooker griddle be seasoned with oil like bare cast iron?

No. Enamelled or coated accessories can have different care requirements. Identify the actual surface before applying a seasoning routine.

What the observation means

Heating oil onto an unsuitable finish can create residue or smoke. A generic cooking article may describe a different material from the accessory supplied with your cooker.

A useful next step

Follow the manufacturer's care instructions and avoid using the appliance to burn in an improvised coating. If the griddle has become sticky, flaking or distorted, stop use and seek compatible advice. Do not remove a coating mechanically to turn it into a different type of cooking surface.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
