Should I season the bottom of the Cooking Griddle as well as the top?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43689points) August 28th, 2016

I just bought an outdoor 36” Griddle Cooking Station. (Like this one )
The instructions are clear about how to season the griddle. BUT they only talk about seasoning the cooking surface. They say nothing about the underside, even though it is the same metal.

Should I do something with the underside and sides to prevent rust? I want this to last.
I am considering spray painting the underside with black, VHT Flame Proof Header Paint to make a Silica and Ceramic coating with an operating temperature of 1300–2000F, (1000C).
If I do spray it, I will follow all the procedures for curing the paint as well as the seasoning process.
Is that OK? Are there any downsides?

Sicne this is in Social—- What should I cook on it?
