How do I season my cast iron cooking grids?
It is important to periodically season your cast iron cooking grids. This will prevent food from sticking, prevent rusting and increase the life of your grids for many years to come. Seasoning your cast iron grids is quick and easy to do. Follow these simple steps:
Seasoning new cast iron cooking grids:
1.
2.
NOTE: We recommend you use vegetable, olive, canola, sunflower oil or vegetable shortening. DO NOT use salted fat such as margarine or butter. They burn off at a really low heat and will not protect the grids.
Re-seasoning cast iron cooking grids:
1.
NOTE: We recommend using only a stainless steel brush for cleaning your grids. The stainless steel bristles are durable and are the most effective for cleaning food particles from your grids quickly and easily.
2.
Spread a thin coating of cooking oil over entire surface of the cast iron grids with a basting brush or oil mister. Be certain the entire surface, including all corners, have been coated thoroughly.
