Uncommon practice that I do: I never cover my flat top. I add a whole bunch of seasoning after cooking is complete. When I'm ready to cook again, I simply heat it up, knock off the dirt and junk, scrape it off, add more oil, and go to work. They are selling crap that no one needs. Those covers let water and condensation in but not out, so it causes rust.
If I'm not gonna use it again within a day or two I put wax paper on it with some oil underneath. Works a hot damn. Just need to pull the wax paper off before next time u light it
Those both sound interesting. I sprinkle fresh cat litter over mine and lightly scrape it off with a spatula when I use it the next time. My neighbor uses WD-40 and it certainly seems to work fine. I'm guessing the ingredients aren't too toxic because he's still alive. 😁
Mine came with a lift top. No matter how much I oil it, it rusts. I want to remove the top, don’t want to risk leaving it uncovered. I live in Texas where the sun is beaming and ten minutes later it’s black outside and about to hail.

@toejamr1 what? It was a MISTAKE. We all make them, in second though if making a mistake enough to make you hate someone maybe you are better off unsubcribing.
I'm a chef, there's a thing called charcoal brick grill cleaner for cleaning flattops and Scotch Brite grill cleaner watch a vid on it, it will leave ur flat looking new. I do it 5 days a week.
Your Blackstone looks fine compared to my supposed SS vevor griddle topper that is now rusted to shit with flaking rust. I got 2-3 good cooks on it before the rust just took over.. I wish there was a thick metal aluminum topper that wouldn't rust
At least she did try to use a sand blaster. Had a guy bring in his wife's favorite cast iron skillet to the machine shop I was the GM of. Said he left it spying in the back yard and it got some serious rust. He wanted to know if we could bead blast it. Took quite a bit of explaining to convince him what a bad idea that was and how to fix it.
Metalworker here. The damage is already done but for the future: NEVER try to grind a surface with a round hand guided tool. That top will need a surface grinder after that treatment. Get a cheap belt sander or oscillating sander, they have a flat working area but round tools when they are not guided by ground mounted machines always screw up surfacing jobs.
Many years ago I worked at the fair and we used a grill (like yours) for hamburgers. Through the day it would get really oily and we just scraped it with our metal spatulas. Closing time we would scraped it to get all the junk off then on low heat we would pour oil and use heavy duty cleaning brick( kind of like a puma stone) to get all the junk off. We never use water.
1. Wire drill brush, not sand paper. 2. Water should never touch the griddle top after your initial cleaning before seasoning. Always clean your griddle top with oil
I used to work at a restaurant with a flat top grill. We had to clean it every night. First we’d pour a cup of water across the hot grill top and then use a metal food scraper to scrape everything that came up into the scum collector (?). Sometimes we’d do it a second time. Then we would squeeze on a packet of grill cleaner. The texture was like a runny gel and it was about 1/3 cup of cleaner. Make sure you spread it across the top, let it bubble, then scrape it off. Finish with another coat or two of water/scrape off, then turn the grill off. I’m sure flat top grill cleaner exists and you could do something similar! Good luck
I second this! I used to work at a restaurant and the cooks would use this exact method to clean off the flat top, it looked brand new after every clean. They used Scotch brite gel cleaner and a grill cleaning brick! Hope this helps ♥️
@@raekitty19oh yeah, I forgot about the grill cleaning brick! It’s been 10+ years so I’m surprised I’m remembered as much as I did. We had a scrubby brick that was made of steel wool I think. It was attached to a handle and that’s what we’d use to smear the cleaner around to cover the whole grill/scrub the cleaner into the grill surface
genuinely my reaction😭. funny cs i had seen other black stone videos mention a black stone mom that fucked up her grill nd juss _knew_ it was her, didn’t think it’d be thisss bad tho😭😭
Metal scouring pad on car wax drill attachment, followed up by fine steel wool or even s.o.s. pads . THEN SEASON . Your cooking surface isn't uneven and you won't burn and stick as much , causing you to go through all that again.
I'm not gonna bandwagon with all these people calling you out for ruining this thing. I'm gonna thank you for sharing a fail (that's is totally fixable BTW) and showing the truth of being a DIY-figure-it-out person. We mess stuff up, then we fix it.. that's how we learn. Get yourself a 60 grit sanding block and put some elbow grease into those edges and season again.
People aren't hating about the DIY break&fix method... It's the lack of research and critical thinking. It's the lack of pause after realizing she got the wrong tool. It's the poor execution even with that drill attachment. Sure you can pat everyone on the back at every turn to keep em going, but sometimes you gotta tell someone to "Stop, think...then act" 🤷♂️
this isn’t fucking around and finding out DIY Style. This is fucking around and finding out because you don’t know how to properly clean the grill. Sanding a grill has never been a number one go to cleaning method?
@@rickeykoga2312 I was given a rusted out Blackstone last month and when I researched it, I found that sanding it was my best chance at fixing it. I already had the tools to do it correctly, so no biggie. She thought she could get by with a drill bit. That didn't work. She appears to have ended up in a mindset of "well, I already goofed it up, why not keep going maybe I can dig myself out of the hole without dropping more money." it's a mistake, for sure. But one she'll learn from. And anyway, it's her property. I don't understand why people get so upset over things that don't belong to them. She didn't do irreparable damage.
Nobody is on a bandwagon honey. Lets not get ahead of ourselves now. People are just pointing out the blatantly obvious mistakes that could’ve been avoided with some common sense, and research. 👍🏻
They say use a torch for the edges to help season. Also burn some onions on it. New tops are available on amazon. I'll be using a wire cup brush on an angle grinder when i go to clean mine.
Love your videos. And love watching you cook on your Blackstone. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to buy a new one. I was nervous watching you do that. You seemed to be taking all your frustrations out on that poor thing 😅
Ask a restaurant which has large stone grills. Try vinegar on a hot grill and the use a grill scrubber (it has a handle). Don't burn yourself, but the grill has to be hot while scrubbing. The vinegar cuts the grease, so re-seasoning is a Must!
You guys… She did not scratch this. The people in these comments must not be familiar with what this material is. This is cast-iron. You’re not gonna put something on it and just scratch it. The problem is she didn’t even. She sanded through the top layer, didn’t sand through the rest. If she would’ve sanded it evenly, then it wouldn’t have looked like this.
I used a grinder with a 4.5 inch rust remover disk and it worked very good for this job. Removed everything except the corners. Removed everything down to the bare metal. Then started over by seasoning the griddle.
Try Charcoal brick. Put it on high heat and oil it around and scrub it by using charcoal brick. Do this 2-3 times and then water. And last scrub of oil and charcola brick and dry it with paper towel. Idk if that helps. But thats what i do with mine
Thanks! I didn’t know the terminology for these videos. Now I know what to call the videos where they don’t take the labels off the aluminum pans before cooking food😅
Okay as a person whom turned a 1/2 thick rust with Coca-Cola and a Holy Stoner, into a see myself in the shine tossed a tad of coke on the grill and had the best Italian Sausages my clients loved. Cleans and flavors.
You should NEVER use a sanding wheel on your griddle. Use a PUMICE STONE you’ll be able to scrub the surface without damaging it. Then season it again before you use it. It works GREAT.
Get a grinder and a flapdisk (basically a sanding attachment) something like a 80 grit- You could clean all of it up in about 10 min- Or get a square faced sander-
I think it's supposed to build up seasoning over time, sort of like cast iron. Someone correct me if i'm wrong so I know what to do if i'm missing a step.
Just FYI👻 Blackstone grills are NOT cast iron (an alloy of iron that contains 2-4% carbon, along with varying amounts of silicon and manganese and traces of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus- per Google). Blackstone’s are actually powder-coated steel. Both work in the same way with the “seasoning” process so you get the non-stick surface, but it isn’t cast iron like a lot of people think🙂
Ok as someone who works cooking on blackstone everyday is clean it with a grill brick once a week when using it after you turn it off put some oil on it and scrub then you also season just by putting a layer of oil on it when you finish scrubbing it and it will stay nice but also seasoned
what restaurant do you work at so I know NOT to come and eat at if you only clean the grill once a week. And yes I do work as a cook in a restaurant and we clean our grills daily, as they should be just like anything else that you cook food in.
@@tieryanayou must be stupid or dont understand blackstones. Stainless steel grills yes but grill bricking a blackstone once a week is plenty and might even be over kill
He's talking about a deep clean with the brick not a daily clean. You don't use a grill brill daily and reseason daily. Too funny how ppl don't know how to clean these...watch a video ppl online. Easy to do!
@@TheRich4187 Actually depending on the use. And with 24 hour use 7 days a week our grills need to be "deep cleaned" at the end of every shift. Which is 3 times a day.
The best thing to use would be a wire wheel on a drill or equivalent rotary tool. That won't remove the cast iron but it will remove the carbon and crud, leaving it all shiny again and ready for re-seasoning.
Can probably oil the edges and torch them to season. Part of the issue might be that they arent getting hot enough. Also in the future if you want to strip down the seasoning just use vinegar. All you gotta do is boil the vinegar and scrub it with a normal brush. It will strip seasoning and surface rust away
When you purchased that expensive outdoor flat-top griddle (that's what they are, get over it), it came with a little pamphlet entitled, "owners manual." Inside, there are instructions for use, care, and ordering replacement parts. Try reading it.
They sell a orange hi temp grill cleaner - stera sheen you use with the grill hot with a steel wool pad and a heat glove. It gets it shining silver every time cover with oil after you use it. I used to use it at A&W every night to clean the grill. It looked brand new every night.
Everyone is saying it's ruined. She mostly just destroyed the seasoning. Simply start over. Wash with soap and water. Use an orbital sander or a wire wheel and take it all the way down to steel. Re-season and it will be perfect! People are commenting like you removed a Teflon coating or something.
Correct. She hasn't ruined it at all, just left some trails. There;'s no way that girl and that drill has enough power to groove carbon steel in thatshort a time. The disc is the way to go, as I have done half a dozen times in 7 years. Actually, that griddle looked just fine from the get go. If she saw mine, she'd faint. TIP: Girl. Lose the silicone protective cover. It will defeat any oil you put on the surface to keep rust away by trapping ambient moisture underneath. Just use a couple layers of paper towels as a vapor barrier. The paper willl absorb enough oil lto be a perfect solution. Guns don't come new in box wrapped in oil impregnated paper for nothing.
You can use an orbital sander and / or wire wheel to get it even then re season it. Use a propane torch near the edges to get it seasoned where the hearing elements dont get the surface hot enough.
When you started sanding with your drill I said out loud, "What the hell are you doing?!". Embrace the seasoning on your griddle. Go watch some videos on cast iron pans and apply what you learn to your blackstone.
All you need is to heat it up nice and hot. Dump white vinegar on it and use a green scouring pad. You can make them nice and shiny again. Then reseason.
Omg girl 😂 my mouth was open the whole time. I thought you were going to stop, and you kept going 😅 love your blackstone vids though super excited to get one!
In her defense, she did say someone needs to take the Blackstone away from her...

My heart broke in 68 pieces when she didn't use a wire brush. I do give her credit. She damn sure tries, I'm sure some people would've tossed it out instead of resurfacing the flattop. Please Ma'am next time watch a video on RUclips to see the steps for cleaning the flattop. Keep Smiling
If your goal in this video was to force yourself to buy a new black stone then you nailed.
Lmao
😂😂 I think it was because wtf 💀
If your goal in life is to waste money then anyone with a brain in the other hand knows it’s perfectly fine 😂😂😂
if you're goal was to hurt someones feelings instead using constructive criticism then you nailed it 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
😂😂 I’m cracking up cuz Tori ….what?!! Your blackstone looked just fine! Nobody was worried about a blacksone top. We are here for your blackstone recipes. 😂 I hope you can buy just a new top part. You tried hun ❤️
After seeing this, I won’t be back for any recipes that is for sure.
@toejamr1 what? It was a MISTAKE. We all make them, in second though if making a mistake enough to make you hate someone maybe you are better off unsubcribing.
@@toejamr1 good one less perfect person judging her. Adios! 😘
@@toejamr1 oh no don’t goooo
@@toejamr1Toe! 😢Please don't leave!what are we doing to do without you!!!! 😵Omgg 😔
Buy a metal brush attachment for the drill. Costs like $3 and works super well for stripping a Blackstone. I do it once a year
I mean, she gave an honest effort and reveal
“Someone needs to take my Blackstone away from me”-looks like you ended up doing that yourself.
I just gasped like I’d been slapped.
Same ..my jaw dropped when she took out that buffer /sander ..😂
Same!
You could use heavy duty grill cleaner that’ll clean that griddle right up.(scratch free)
I'm a chef, there's a thing called charcoal brick grill cleaner for cleaning flattops and Scotch Brite grill cleaner watch a vid on it, it will leave ur flat looking new. I do it 5 days a week.
why wouldn’t you google it???
Seriously! In a day and age where information is literally at our fingertips, if you don't know what you're doing just do some research for 5 minutes.
or watch on youtube 😢 there are a lot of videos on how to properly clean and season it 😢
she did clearly. as it’s recommended to sand it. she just used the wrong tools
For real.... like... wat 💀
I worked at a restaurant that had a flat top. We used cooking oil and a grill brick with the heat on low. It totally works 😊
Totally agree or you could’ve gotten the wire brush for your drill that’s what we use
Your Blackstone looks fine compared to my supposed SS vevor griddle topper that is now rusted to shit with flaking rust.
I got 2-3 good cooks on it before the rust just took over..
I wish there was a thick metal aluminum topper that wouldn't rust
At least she did try to use a sand blaster. Had a guy bring in his wife's favorite cast iron skillet to the machine shop I was the GM of. Said he left it spying in the back yard and it got some serious rust. He wanted to know if we could bead blast it. Took quite a bit of explaining to convince him what a bad idea that was and how to fix it.
Can we have a moment of silence for that poor defenseless Blackstone. Poor thing.
My cast iron pans just cracked in the cupboard hearing what happened. Black is gold. Proper care means it cooks well for you 😢
Black stone grills are not cast iron, they're cold rolled steel.
In the south they say;
"Bless your heart..."
This is "meemaw's 150 year old cast iron in the dishwasher" energy.
exactly!…..duh
Nah man, at least the 150 year old cast iron can come back from that without major work.
This on the other hand 🤷♂️
Omg it is 😭💀
Granny probably started clawing the casket to get out and grab a switch from the cemetery rose bush to whoop ass.
A few yellow onions a carton of salt some lard good as new in 30 minutes.
Metalworker here. The damage is already done but for the future: NEVER try to grind a surface with a round hand guided tool. That top will need a surface grinder after that treatment. Get a cheap belt sander or oscillating sander, they have a flat working area but round tools when they are not guided by ground mounted machines always screw up surfacing jobs.
nah just use a grill brick and oil lol
Surface grinder? You can't be serious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So if you grind off the black stone coating don’t you just have stainless steel left and lose the nonstick effect?
@@samantha953
She already did that. See the nice shiny metal gouges?
@samantha953 yes of course, but a surface grinder is a completely different machine. Maybe they are referring to something else 🤷♂️
Many years ago I worked at the fair and we used a grill (like yours) for hamburgers. Through the day it would get really oily and we just scraped it with our metal spatulas. Closing time we would scraped it to get all the junk off then on low heat we would pour oil and use heavy duty cleaning brick( kind of like a puma stone) to get all the junk off. We never use water.
1. Wire drill brush, not sand paper. 2. Water should never touch the griddle top after your initial cleaning before seasoning. Always clean your griddle top with oil
I used to work at a restaurant with a flat top grill. We had to clean it every night. First we’d pour a cup of water across the hot grill top and then use a metal food scraper to scrape everything that came up into the scum collector (?). Sometimes we’d do it a second time. Then we would squeeze on a packet of grill cleaner. The texture was like a runny gel and it was about 1/3 cup of cleaner. Make sure you spread it across the top, let it bubble, then scrape it off. Finish with another coat or two of water/scrape off, then turn the grill off.
I’m sure flat top grill cleaner exists and you could do something similar! Good luck
I second this! I used to work at a restaurant and the cooks would use this exact method to clean off the flat top, it looked brand new after every clean. They used Scotch brite gel cleaner and a grill cleaning brick! Hope this helps ♥️
Yup I'm a cook and this is the best method. I used to use the orange scotch Brite degreaser ! But I'm sure any degreaser is fine
@@raekitty19oh yeah, I forgot about the grill cleaning brick! It’s been 10+ years so I’m surprised I’m remembered as much as I did.
We had a scrubby brick that was made of steel wool I think. It was attached to a handle and that’s what we’d use to smear the cleaner around to cover the whole grill/scrub the cleaner into the grill surface
I came to say this too, some peoples lack of knowledge is insane when it comes to the kitchen
@lifewithadaemon6089 there was a time you didn't possess that knowledge either.......no need to judge
I've never even grilled once myself and I went "oh no... that is not how you do that..."
Wait.......whaaaaa..??. Well then you better get out there and start. You don't know what your missing.
@@daniastopjik3287 I live in an apartment and they don't let me grill outside :(
genuinely my reaction😭. funny cs i had seen other black stone videos mention a black stone mom that fucked up her grill nd juss _knew_ it was her, didn’t think it’d be thisss bad tho😭😭
Restaurants with large grills like this have a special scraper to scrape off all the burned-on food, but it doesn't scratch the metal.
Metal scouring pad on car wax drill attachment, followed up by fine steel wool or even s.o.s. pads . THEN SEASON . Your cooking surface isn't uneven and you won't burn and stick as much , causing you to go through all that again.
"Someone needs to take my blackstone away from me" Truer words haven never been spoken
I don’t think taking the black stone away is the answer I think they should take power tools away from her
I'm not gonna bandwagon with all these people calling you out for ruining this thing. I'm gonna thank you for sharing a fail (that's is totally fixable BTW) and showing the truth of being a DIY-figure-it-out person. We mess stuff up, then we fix it.. that's how we learn. Get yourself a 60 grit sanding block and put some elbow grease into those edges and season again.
💯 ❤❤❤❤
People aren't hating about the DIY break&fix method...
It's the lack of research and critical thinking. It's the lack of pause after realizing she got the wrong tool. It's the poor execution even with that drill attachment.
Sure you can pat everyone on the back at every turn to keep em going, but sometimes you gotta tell someone to "Stop, think...then act" 🤷♂️
this isn’t fucking around and finding out DIY Style. This is fucking around and finding out because you don’t know how to properly clean the grill. Sanding a grill has never been a number one go to cleaning method?
@@rickeykoga2312 I was given a rusted out Blackstone last month and when I researched it, I found that sanding it was my best chance at fixing it. I already had the tools to do it correctly, so no biggie. She thought she could get by with a drill bit. That didn't work. She appears to have ended up in a mindset of "well, I already goofed it up, why not keep going maybe I can dig myself out of the hole without dropping more money." it's a mistake, for sure. But one she'll learn from. And anyway, it's her property. I don't understand why people get so upset over things that don't belong to them. She didn't do irreparable damage.
Nobody is on a bandwagon honey. Lets not get ahead of ourselves now. People are just pointing out the blatantly obvious mistakes that could’ve been avoided with some common sense, and research. 👍🏻
Husband Looking out the window laughing his ass off😂
They say use a torch for the edges to help season. Also burn some onions on it. New tops are available on amazon. I'll be using a wire cup brush on an angle grinder when i go to clean mine.
RIP Blackstone. Sanding a grill with a 1/2" drill is wild 😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣
Lmao people just be so creative 🤣
maybe a roloc 3" would've been way easier relatively speaking of course lol.
Love your videos. And love watching you cook on your Blackstone. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to buy a new one. I was nervous watching you do that. You seemed to be taking all your frustrations out on that poor thing 😅
I agree, SOMEONE DOES NEED TO TAKE IT AWAY!!!
*REMOVE SEASONING*
• preheat to 200F
• 50/50 mix White Vinegar/ Water
• soak 30 min
• scrub with steel wool
Thank you chef
Val stone themselves tell you not to do that and to sand it so no that’s wrong
Use a hand torch to season the edges. They don't get hot enough with the burners.
Ask a restaurant which has large stone grills.
Try vinegar on a hot grill and the use a grill scrubber (it has a handle). Don't burn yourself, but the grill has to be hot while scrubbing. The vinegar cuts the grease, so re-seasoning is a Must!
Girl….. GRIDDLE BRICKS!!!!! they work like a CHARM!!!
You can buy just a black stone topper! Love that you are so honest with us❤
thank you for the positivity
When I worked at a steak house, the flat got cleaned every night with a black, permeable stone brick. I'm pretty sure she ruined the top of her grill.
You guys… She did not scratch this. The people in these comments must not be familiar with what this material is. This is cast-iron. You’re not gonna put something on it and just scratch it. The problem is she didn’t even. She sanded through the top layer, didn’t sand through the rest. If she would’ve sanded it evenly, then it wouldn’t have looked like this.
girl- i love your videos but wtf did you jus do 😭
Girl you fugged that ish upppp 😅😂 something I would totally do
I used a grinder with a 4.5 inch rust remover disk and it worked very good for this job. Removed everything except the corners. Removed everything down to the bare metal. Then started over by seasoning the griddle.
Try Charcoal brick. Put it on high heat and oil it around and scrub it by using charcoal brick. Do this 2-3 times and then water. And last scrub of oil and charcola brick and dry it with paper towel. Idk if that helps. But thats what i do with mine
Guys this is called rage baiting. She is getting exactly what she wants from doing this. Clicks and comments.
Thanks! I didn’t know the terminology for these videos. Now I know what to call the videos where they don’t take the labels off the aluminum pans before cooking food😅
Ding ding ding ding
Agree she was going to throw this away regardless before buying a new one.
I came here to say this.
My whole family rage baits me
Yeah, you “F’d” that up pretty good, girl………😂
You are learning
Give yourself grace
Okay as a person whom turned a 1/2 thick rust with Coca-Cola and a Holy Stoner, into a see myself in the shine tossed a tad of coke on the grill and had the best Italian Sausages my clients loved. Cleans and flavors.
Wire wheel. I used them on all my cast iron cookware. You can get them for drills and grinders.
Holy shit you really messed it up 😂
It can’t always look pretty, it’s where you cook! And you make awesome stuff on there!!
You should NEVER use a sanding wheel on your griddle.
Use a PUMICE STONE you’ll be able to scrub the surface without damaging it.
Then season it again before you use it.
It works GREAT.
Your Blackstone looked fine... Comparison is the cure to happiness
Is this account satire cause there is no way she actually thought that was a good idea
It's not satire.
It has to be, how can a person with no exp to clean grill execute idea that popped in their head. And not research..come onnnn😅😅😅
It’s not satire it’s an engagement stunt.
Just fishing for comments, typical influencer shit. The negative engagement is just as valuable as the positive
@@Izzy-bq1rc never thought people would want to get paid to look like an idiot. Anything to not get a real job I guess.
"hey Google, how to season my Blackstone" would have been a good start to this project. Haha oh dear
Get a grinder and a flapdisk (basically a sanding attachment) something like a 80 grit- You could clean all of it up in about 10 min- Or get a square faced sander-
Buy a charcoal block from a restaurant supply store, if put deep scratches you may need a sanding block and sand paper to smooth it again
I think it's supposed to build up seasoning over time, sort of like cast iron.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong so I know what to do if i'm missing a step.
You’re exactly right !
Sort of like? It's literally. Cast iron.
Just FYI👻 Blackstone grills are NOT cast iron (an alloy of iron that contains 2-4% carbon, along with varying amounts of silicon and manganese and traces of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus- per Google).
Blackstone’s are actually powder-coated steel.
Both work in the same way with the “seasoning” process so you get the non-stick surface, but it isn’t cast iron like a lot of people think🙂
Blackstone are cold steel. Cold steel does not season like cast iron and you never will develop that season finish like cast iron.
Ok as someone who works cooking on blackstone everyday is clean it with a grill brick once a week when using it after you turn it off put some oil on it and scrub then you also season just by putting a layer of oil on it when you finish scrubbing it and it will stay nice but also seasoned
what restaurant do you work at so I know NOT to come and eat at if you only clean the grill once a week. And yes I do work as a cook in a restaurant and we clean our grills daily, as they should be just like anything else that you cook food in.
@@tieryanayou must be stupid or dont understand blackstones. Stainless steel grills yes but grill bricking a blackstone once a week is plenty and might even be over kill
Ice is also a great tool 😎😎
He's talking about a deep clean with the brick not a daily clean. You don't use a grill brill daily and reseason daily. Too funny how ppl don't know how to clean these...watch a video ppl online. Easy to do!
@@TheRich4187 Actually depending on the use. And with 24 hour use 7 days a week our grills need to be "deep cleaned" at the end of every shift. Which is 3 times a day.
The best thing to use would be a wire wheel on a drill or equivalent rotary tool. That won't remove the cast iron but it will remove the carbon and crud, leaving it all shiny again and ready for re-seasoning.
If your intent was to see how bad you could fuck that griddle up, you succeeded. Holy hell
Can probably oil the edges and torch them to season. Part of the issue might be that they arent getting hot enough. Also in the future if you want to strip down the seasoning just use vinegar. All you gotta do is boil the vinegar and scrub it with a normal brush. It will strip seasoning and surface rust away
This is sad for us poor folk......
Everyone, she's buffing cars now and totally booked up. Send her a DM, it may take her awhile to answer though. Quality work is hard to find.
When you purchased that expensive outdoor flat-top griddle (that's what they are, get over it), it came with a little pamphlet entitled, "owners manual." Inside, there are instructions for use, care, and ordering replacement parts. Try reading it.
They sell a orange hi temp grill cleaner - stera sheen you use with the grill hot with a steel wool pad and a heat glove. It gets it shining silver every time cover with oil after you use it. I used to use it at A&W every night to clean the grill. It looked brand new every night.
Or you could just use lemon juice or any clear soda.
That's for stainless steel flat tops.
Everyone is saying it's ruined. She mostly just destroyed the seasoning. Simply start over. Wash with soap and water. Use an orbital sander or a wire wheel and take it all the way down to steel. Re-season and it will be perfect! People are commenting like you removed a Teflon coating or something.
The problem is scratching the actual metal. Like putting grooves in it. It will never be flat again. Which is the entire purpose of a flat top grill
All those grooves and scratches are where food particles will concentrate …
Correct. She hasn't ruined it at all, just left some trails. There;'s no way that girl and that drill has enough power to groove carbon steel in thatshort a time. The disc is the way to go, as I have done half a dozen times in 7 years.
Actually, that griddle looked just fine from the get go. If she saw mine, she'd faint.
TIP: Girl. Lose the silicone protective cover. It will defeat any oil you put on the surface to keep rust away by trapping ambient moisture underneath. Just use a couple layers of paper towels as a vapor barrier. The paper willl absorb enough oil lto be a perfect solution. Guns don't come new in box wrapped in oil impregnated paper for nothing.
@insederec Blackstone tops aren't flat anyway even when new
@@JRJStacks I know there is a difference between flat and fair but most people don't know what fair means in this context
You need a wire wheel attachment for the drill. You might need a torch to season the edges
You can use an orbital sander and / or wire wheel to get it even then re season it. Use a propane torch near the edges to get it seasoned where the hearing elements dont get the surface hot enough.
I had the same issue. I used a palm sander and got it nice and clean and even. Re seasoned about 6 times and it’s perfect now. Good idea wrong tool.
She didn't only clean the junk off of it she took the whole top coating of The griddle off😂
When you started sanding with your drill I said out loud, "What the hell are you doing?!". Embrace the seasoning on your griddle. Go watch some videos on cast iron pans and apply what you learn to your blackstone.
All you need is to heat it up nice and hot. Dump white vinegar on it and use a green scouring pad. You can make them nice and shiny again. Then reseason.
Omg girl 😂 my mouth was open the whole time. I thought you were going to stop, and you kept going 😅 love your blackstone vids though super excited to get one!
