Cast iron grill/griddle seasoning between use
Comments (10)I do the same thing as wekick. I rinse them in hot water and either dry with a paper towel or place on the burner until it's dry. Then I wipe a small amount of oil on the inside. Since I have 2 skillets that I stack I place a paper towel inside. None of mine came with instructions to season after each use. If by chance you scrub it with soap and remove the seasoning then you'll have to redo it. If you have burned on particles of meat just use some kosher salt and a plastic scrubber and scrub. My kids gave me a Lodge pre-seasoned skillet last year and that one is my favorite. It just seems to have a better seasoning than the ones I did myself. I have 2 Le Creuset enameled cast irons Dutch Ovens. I bought mine at the Le Creuset outlet and saved a bundle. But I also have 2 Martha Stewart enameled cat iron Dutch Ovens that I bought at Macy's and the quality seems the same to me. I even like the fact that the lids on Martha's are dimpled on the inside so that the moisture that condenses on the lid drips back into the pot and doesn't run down the lid onto to the counter when you lift it up. Macy's frequently puts them on sale for 40% to 50% off. That's a great buy. Here is a link that might be useful: Martha's Dutch Ovens...See MoreCleaning Kenmore cast iron grates and griddle
Comments (3)I would treat the grates just like a cast iron frying pan and season them in a slow oven. You will find directions in the link below. First heat your grills and get off that sticky surface. Wipe it down with dry paper towels, when it can be handled but is still warm and wash hot in soapy dishwater --not the dishwasher, wash them by hand. Then season them and--well the site tells you how to clean and season and keep cast iron seasoned. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/CastIronPans.htm...See Morecast iron griddle even?
Comments (4)I always thought cast-iron griddles were best but have been having trouble w/ uneven heating on mine. That's a great explanation, VeloDoug! Thanks. Probably the solution is to give your griddle a long time to heat up, so the heat can spread. But my big problem w/ the aluminum griddles I've seen is, the handles stick up! They'll get in the way while I'm flipping, I'm just sure (esp. since I'm only 5'2"), and the biggie: They will be hard to store. I currently stand my griddle up in a side cabinet, and put OTHER stuff standing up in there, too. Those handles will be a PITA. Anybody know of an aluminum griddle WITHOUT those big sticking-up handles?...See MoreInduction - Q's about non-stick, preheating, griddles, Le Creuset
