    99% of the comments are completely wrong for an outdoor blackstone or other brand flat top griddle. These need to be seasoned like a cast iron otherwise they will rust. No lemon, no vinegar, no grill stones, no soap. All you need is water, scraper, high smoke point oil and towels.
    It's called a blackstone for a reason

      Foreal just get the grill pads there like thick paper towels only one is needed to pick up leftover dirt then one to make sure you didn't miss a spot. That and are you really cleaning that type of grill by doing that. If it's cast iron or something that needs to be seasoned or oil added to prevent rust I understand that but I usto work over a grill similar to that and at the end of the day after cooking, when you go to clean your flat top it's supposed to be as clean as when you first got it, had to scrub it a special way use specific grill pads with a metal score pad to rescore the top and then grill pads to pick the dirt up. So you me this doesn't seem all that clean.

    I cook in a restaurant when closing at the end of the night it’s wayyyyy more in depth than that and it comes out shiny silver. We scrape it with oil and a grill brick, then pour high temp grill cleaner and let it sit for a little bit. Then we scrape it off and throw ice on it to cool it down and get all that gunk off then wipe with towel then white vinegar and wipe again with towel. This is in a restaurant where you are cooking all day on it though it gets very dirty and you need to pull all that oil and food out from the metal

    This is similar to how I clean my cast irons. You boil water in them, scrape them out. Rinse. Dry. Place on the stove with a bit of oil wiped in to heat and season and leave it in my oven until the next time. I imagine this may be cast iron too? You don't use soap on cast iron the high temps sanitize

Next time I use it, I heat it up, it melts down and I scrape it off. Then I take a piece of scrap meat that I never intended on eating and scrub the surface to wipe off any black flecks of burnt food. No water, no paper towels, no rust, no cooking oil, no steam, works for me.

    Clean it with the Brillo pad and then rinse it off with water until it’s clean. Put on a thin coat of any kind of oil and then bake it off with the heat until it’s all baked in for next time.

  • @CS-qc7np
    @CS-qc7np Год назад +1

    This is similar to a restaurant-style cleaning: grill brick, water, ice, scraper, etc. That makes it look shiny and new. However, at home, we leave the seasoning on our griddle. We scrap lightly, wipe off, and reseason all at high heat.

    Tip to get a better season on the griddle.
    Let it cool.
    Then scrape it while dry to remove any large pieces.
    Warm it up, water, scrape, wipe down, turn off, then oil and leave it.

  • @RockHudrock
    @RockHudrock 6 месяцев назад +1

    (1) water + scraper, (2) water + towel, (3) a small amount of oil to protect the surfaces from corrosion.
    That oil is not to season the surface, it’s a thin layer that reduces corrosion.

    So much oil. Excess oil polymerizes and potentially turns rancid. You just want a little, not a quart. Put a couple dabs on a paper towel and wipe it on, it’s also good if the grill is still hot.

    Definitely try the flat top cleaning bricks, no chemicals, cleans it exceptionally well, there’s better options to cleaning but those are a good one, then you can water it down to rinse it and oil it. Just an option if you don’t like the acid/chemical approach, which it appears you don’t.
