Hey, we get a lot of questions from all kinds everywhere in the world, either from
YouTube, email, Facebook, Twitter, all them other electricity things that Shannon has me hooked
up to that I really don't know what are. But we had Jose sent us a little message other day
He said he had an old skillet, had these grill lines in it, where when you fry something in
there it looks like it's been grilled. His was hard to clean, hard to take care of
What do you do to get this clean? So we thought we'd give you this idea with this old grill plate
Show you how we clean ours. We hope it helps you all. You know, we just got through grill and steak in here
I didn't want to go outside and do it. Grill plates are always hard to clean, especially when they got these rigged
A lot of skillets have them in there the same. People say, how do you clean them? I don't know the one way successfully that I've always cleaned them
You'll be careful. This thing is hot. We're going to take it to the sink. Hot water immediately
Most of this stuff will come right off. Not you can use soft side of a side of a safe. sponge so watch yourself when you put water on it. It's gonna make some steam
It's boiling that goodness off of it too, I'll promise you. So why does it have to be hot
and hot? Hot water against hot steel, you ain't got no problem. Hot steel cold water
you're gonna get a crack. If you have to, you can take the soft side of the sponge
but I think we ain't gonna have much clean up here. You can see most of that come off
That how I keep a grill plate clean or a skillet that got any ridges in it at all simple as it can be Rinse her one more time Now all it needs is something that gets every trip
Take it back over the fire, let it dry out. We'll reseason with olive oil, put it up
Be good to go next time. We're going to put it back over here on some heat
You can see we've still got moisture on here. I'm not going to take a rag and dry it off
I'm going to let heat dry it off, and then it'll be ready to season. When it's dry, we'll season with olive oil
olive oil and a good lint free rag be ready to go. Yep
We got her dried out, we got her heated up, we're going to season it just a tad
We're going to make sure that we get it everywhere it needs to be
And when I found this old thing, the ridges were all just crusted over in here and everywhere else
Now you can do that two or three different ways. I took a wire brush to it first and got after it
and then I burned it in a fire. But I've seen them so bad at times when they're so rough and decayed up here on top
people think they're worthless. You can take a heavy grit sandpaper and go through here
and get these edges pretty smooth back up on this raised grill part
and you can start over from there. Good piece of cast iron. It'll always last forever if you take care of it right
