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

A 36" replacement griddle is about $200... Pay $20 for a palm sander so that it sands flat without gouging the surface. It will reach all the way to the edge. Start with 60 grit & then 80, 100, then 120 grit. Re-season it about 3 times---use just enough oil & wipe excess before heating each seasoning. Each time after you use it, add water to the surface and let it steam clean itself while still hot. Wipe it, oil the rag and wipe it before adding the silicone protective mat. Maintaining it cheaper than replacing...

Think I might start with an orbital sander with like 80 grit paper. Think I would do it like sanding hardwood floors the old seasoning will clog up the sandpaper so have several replacements start close to the edge and move the sander back and forth don't just stay in one spot but keep it kind of moving in straight rows around the outside don't try to take it all off in one pass this is going to take several passes changing the sanding paper when you notic it is not doing much once you have created like a pathway a border around the outer surface start another path overlapping the first pass now you are not going to go around the edge but start a new row but overlapping your outer edge changing sanding paper as needed and moving all the time back and forth keep moving in a row either front to back or side to side now keep this motion up now start moving the sander back and forth taking up more surface area but keep moving the sander change the paper as needed and keep moving the sander around and back and forth keep going this now you will be covering more area keep moving over flat surface area keep that sander flat and moving. Now change the paper it should be getting a more polished metal look to it keep moving the sander around once the hole surface area is looking nice and polished change the sanding paper to like 100 grit and keep polishing it back and forth. You will see it getting a smoother shiner polished metal look if you have corners that the round sander can't get to. Change to a square padded sander to get into the corners move slowly but always be moving you can keep the sander flat but change the paper as the corners may become clogged keep working the corners and edge holding the sander flat and moving out to meat the area you have done moving back and forth and a little round and round if you think it's time to change the paper up to 100 go for it maybe go to 150 it depends on the polish you want. I should have warned you these sanders are loud the noise can damage your hearing and ear protectors should be worn at all times when operating any power tool. Things should be looking much nicer now but you can always go back to a courser paper and start over or maybe not have moved to the finer paper so soon it's up to you the trick is to always be moving the sander back and forth around and and around and then changing to a more fine paper as you go. If scratches persist move to a more fine paper you can get paper so fine you can't feel the sandy part to it.🙂

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.

[@insederec]

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

[@ernestgalvan9037]

All those grooves and scratches are where food particles will concentrate …

[@Lollygagger-k4p]

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.

[@brittanystevens2989]

You’re exactly right !

[@aachucko]

Sort of like? It's literally. Cast iron.

[@SDale1105]

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🙂

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

Blackstone are cold steel. Cold steel does not season like cast iron and you never will develop that season finish like cast iron.

[@originalsade7243]

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

[@Marksin866]

Use a $1 piece of wood and wrap sandpaper around it. Start medium work to fine. Like doing a car paint job. Also you can buy a grill block. It's a large pumous or whatever block. I don't know what it is. While the grill is hot you pour cooking oil onto it. Now you put on hot mitts cause you don't want hot oil splashing on you. Gently scrub the grill up and down. Use a block knife or whatever those chopping thinks are and scrape the oil off into the pan. While the top with paper towels towels repeat if needed. When it's clean and still hot. Pour vinegar onto the surface. Let it evaporate and cook off. I used to work in a diner and that's how you clean the grill at the end of the night.

[@allyash925]

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

I have used the sanding pumice stone that Blackstone sells. After a few cooks I will clean off the grill of food. Do a water steam clean and scrape. Then I will use the stone lightly just to buff away and spots or discolored areas. Then warm it up and season it then wipe it down again with paper towels then a light coat of oil till it smokes. Cool down and cover. Mine looks almost as good as it was 3 years ago. Promise to NEVER use sandpaper and a drill again!!!

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.

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

Ma'am I have had to clean many griddle tops over the years, working in restaurants, starting from mop boy to kitchen short order grill. So what you need is called a GRIDDLE STONE. They are fairly inexpensive. What you do is get the griddle top screaming hot, hold your hand about two inches above and count 1 Mississippi, two Mississippi, and it's to hot stay. Then pour about a quart of HOT WATER mixed in about 1/2-2/3 box of BAKING SODA in the hot water. Let it sizzle for about 2-3 seconds, the start on the far edge and in a swirling motion use the Griddle Block, it's gonna take some time and elbow grease. Keep repeating this water and scouring it. Then used a good Olive Oil to season it with.

[@gregtusc]

If your intent was to see how bad you could fuck that griddle up, you succeeded. Holy hell

[@chrisgio333]

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.

[@alejandroguevara5520]

Hey. At our restaurant we use 3M scotchbrite griddle cleaner. You put your griddle to 350f and then pour the liquid on. Grab a spatula and cover it all. Wear a facemask. leaves it like new. Lifts all the grid to the surface.

Start with heat and a wet rag then a baking soda paste plastic wrap to prevent it from drying overnight. Clean with vinegar. Depending on condition either scrub it down with oil and salt or sand with 600 grit. Next season then buff with oil and salt - repeat until satisfied

[@MisplacedMotoVlogger]

Not ruined at all. Put a wire brush attachment on the drill or use an orbital sander, and then re-season it. All of the old coating has to come off before you can re-season it. It doesn't look like she did that.

[@SamFerree]

If you have access to an oven that will fit your cast iron, that is the best way to ensure an even 100% coverage season. This worked great with my 17" griddle on my camper, but since this is next to impossible with the 36" griddle, I used a blowtorch to get the edges :)

[@joshuaimoe]

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.

[@Turvok]

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

[@2ndfloorsongs]

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. 😁

[@JusNmyWORLD]

[@TheGAdams005]

​@@2ndfloorsongssarcasm detected, but wd40 is literally fish oil, so it'd be fine realistically.

[@DunnDealOutdoors]

Once these things are seasoned, treat them like cast iron. Don’t strip it to reseason it. Just use water to clean it with the heat on to burn the bad stuff off and just apply a coat of oil or whatever to prevent rust from happening

[@2cents422]

Years ago, I was a fast food cook. And I had to clean one 3 times this size every single night. Use a big brick that you can hold in one hand, a big 3M scrub pad, and 120 grit sand paper sheets. Brick, pad, sand paper. Wrap the brick and pad with the sand paper in such a way that you can hold it together with both hands. Get the grill as hot as it can get, and douse it with Sprite. As it's boiling and steaming, carefully sand it with the brick assembly in a uniform manner. Typically, it's a push-pull motion. Repeat all steps until you are left with a flat, smooth surface. You might have to use a few pieces of sand paper. My grill was almost a mirror surface and cooked like a dream. Have no fear. You can even repair the damage you did with the drill. Happy fixing!

[@starflower7709]

Uhhh…Sprite? We used pickle juice, I guess because it’s acidic. And i guess sprite is too but i would think that the sugar in it would not be so cool.

I typically use white vinegar. Lemon juice is the best, but vinegar is cheaper. It's an entire process.

[@2cents422]

Well, this was in a fast food restaurant. Never tried anything vinegar based like pickle juice. But I think the sugar was counterintuitive. Instead of making a muck, like you think it would, it bonds to the stuck on foods deep down. And allows you to scrape it all off.

[@jimibones178]

water works just fine. its the steam that loosens the grime lol, not the soda

[@precision_Air]

Turn it on high. Get the grill HOT. Pour water on it and scrape off the gunk with a metal spatula. It's the boiling water and steam pockets that get under the baked/burnt on food and lifts it off easily. Be careful of the hot steam, and remember to add a light coat of oil when done.

[@hollyshobbies1050]

In our kitchen (commercial) we use a metal sheet of scrub mesh which goes against the grill top followed by a scotch guard pad and then a metal press plate with handle. We scrub with that using oil on the hot top, wiping the removed sludge away with paper towels till it’s clean. We then sprits it with water to remove the film of dirt and put fresh oil down. We do this every use. It looked new even 10yrs later. We never had the black coat your top does. I know many call it “seasoned” but it should be cleansed with oil after every use. Food residue is not seasoning.
