- Cast iron grill pans are one way to cook food outdoors or indoors. However, they can be a little tricky to clean. In this video, Mr. Cast Iron shows you how to wash and clean a Lodge cast iron grill pan so that it's like new again!
A grill pan is a skillet with ridges. Sometimes food gets stuck after cooking on cast iron. Cleaning can best be done immediately after cooking while the skillet is hot, but sometimes that is not possible to do. Not to fear because we can still clean our cast iron grill pan!!

As we were just trying to clean our cast iron grill, we thought about checking your channel to see if we were going about it correctly. Great to see Mike! I'd like to try one of those chainmail scrubbers... they look handy! I love the trick with the little bit of water as well. Thanks for the tips!
Hey Susan!! I think you will like a good chainmail scrubber and it won’t harm your cast iron either!
Happpppy New Year to you & Mrs. Cast Iron. I think we all cooked lazy mans meals today. I sure DID!!! Burgers sounds yummmEee.
Those are the best ones to me Cynthia lol!!
Happy New Year my friend!!
See when you clean that pan you can sing GROOVING ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.... lol. Good stuff Mike..
Lol! I didn’t think of that Tom but I probably would have if I did!! 🤣🤣
Well that little plastic scraper sure looks handy. Love my cast iron! 👍🏼
Yes they are and these grooved ones work great on a grill pan too!!
Great info and demo Mr CI 👏👏👏💯
Thanks Rick!!
I haven’t really used cast iron much before. This morning I was making some breakfast burritos. After I got the eggs, cheese and everything else wrapped up in the tortillas, I needed to “toast” the burritos on both sides to give it a little crunch and melt the cheese. I remembered I had an old cast iron griddle (round and flat with a little lip on the edge, doesn’t have ridges) that belonged to my grandmother. Oh man, it worked beautiful! I’ve never been able to get tortillas to brown like that on an aluminum skillet. Only issue was some cheese spilled out and got stuck on the griddle. There is just enough lip on the griddle (maybe 1/4”) that I was able to pour in just enough water to cover the cheese. Turned the gas back on, let it boil, and the cheese came right off with just a little nylon scrub brush. So now I’m going to have to try doing so more cooking with cast iron.
Now unrelated to that story - last week I was going through some drawers in the kitchen and found plastic thing with the notches like you showed for cleaning your grill pan. It didn’t have any writing on it and I said “what in the heck is this thing for?” I knew it came with something but I couldn’t remember what, or what it was used for. Mystery Solved!
Wow that’s a great story my friend and thanks for sharing it with us!! I wish I had one of your breakfast burritos about now lol!! 😂😂
@@MrCastIron here’s a burrito tip in case you or others don’t already know it. When you’re rolling up the tortilla and trying to get it to stay closed, mix up a little flour & water OR corn starch & water and dab a little bit of that on the inside of the “flap” of the burrito. Place that side down first on the skillet and then your burrito won’t come unwrapped. Saw that recently on a young lady’s UA-cam channel. Take care!
That’s cool!! Thanks for the tip Andrew!!
Uncle Cast Iron with another banger of a video! Thank you, kindly!
You’re welcome Trenton! Thank you nephew lol!!
I see that you got a cast iron tea kettle I wish you would make a video on how to keep your cattle season without making the bad taste and coffee and tea with it
Well I really don’t use it but I should lol!! If it has a bad taste you could boil a mixture of vinegar and water and that should help. Let me know if you do that and how it turns out ok!!??
Thanks for sharing this info👍
You’re welcome anytime my friend!!
I just love your channel. Im enjoying using my cast iron now that Ive learned how to properly clean my pieces. I am going to brave getting a grill pan. I can keep it clean now that i know how. Thank you!
Having a few of the right tools can make most any task less laborsome. Fine tips - thanks for sharing
Yes! You’re welcome and thank you too my friend!!
Those little scrapers always have a place next to my sink. Inexpensive and effective 👍😊

Really grear channel and it info! I just bought my first few cast iron pans and I'm excited to start using them. 👌👌👌
That's cool, and I know you must be excited to start cooking with it. If you ever have any questions or problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I’ll do my best to help you out ok!!??
@@MrCastIron sounds deal! I was telling my coworkers about this channel today. Both from Georgia and swear by Iron! My dad had an old skillet from when he was a poor kid in the Bronx NY. Many old Italian families up here used a few pieces of iron for nearly everything.
Yes indeed! Thanks for sharing our channel with your friends. Cast iron is something special that will outlive us all.
Great video Mike, that scrapper reminds me of a Tile Adhesive applicator!
Thanks Steve!! Lol!! Yes it does
Always great content!! Cast iron is the best! Everything tastes better...
Yes it is! Thank you!!
I use the heating method for most of my tough jobs, followed by scrubbing with hot water and a nylon pad, followed by a small drop of dishsoap and warm water, followed by a rinse, followed by a heating to dry all surfaces. Seems to work (I always forget the oil at the end).
That’s cool! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us my friend!!
Great video mike i just bought the srubbie from target happy New year 😁
Thanks Mr Bluuue!!
Bobbi Jo says that excess hamburger goes in her dog bowl. 😋
Lol! I bet she would love a little burger as a treat!! Heck I wouldn’t mind another one lol!! 🤣🤣

So easy if one has the right tools for the job, Thanks for the tip!

Thank you Richard!!
@@MrCastIron Yessir
Wait, just the chainmail -- without the scrapers -- isn't enough?
Nope! Eddie Money said, “ Give Me Some Water”!! Lol
What is the care instructions for the Lodge Cast iron Smoker? I wasn’t sure if it was ok to leave on the grill for storage & if it needs to be cleaned. Also does it need to be seasoned?
I don’t have one, but I’d say if it is cast iron, I would clean it, dry it, and lightly oil it before I stored it long-term.
I let my clean skillet cool to room temperature before wiping of excess oil.
The cooling helps suck microscopic amounts of the oil into the pores.
Works for me, anyway….
That's cool, and I sure appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with us, my friend!!
Tyvm
You’re welcome!
So I recently bought a lodge and im already making rookie mistakes. Not oiling, and using to high heat. Because of this, it left burnt marks that I cant get off. I bought that chain scrub but i think i scrubbed too hard😭 and i can see my scrub marks.. am i doomed?
No, you are not doomed! You can fix it by cooking some 73/27 or 80/20 hamburger meat. I would only use the chainmail if I had something that would not come off any other way and then only lightly. Typically after cooking, take a paper towel and wipe out the excess grease. Add some water and heat it in the skillet and wash it out. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub any bits that need a little extra persuasion. Let me know how it turns out, ok!!??
@@MrCastIron thank you! I will try this!
Sounds good!!
Nice!!
Thanks Hobie!!
About sticky cast iron I believe that's what happened to mine when someone used it. It's sticky and big globs of goey oil in the grooves. I tried everything I know but I havnt been able to get it fixed. Is there any ways to fix that?
I hate that it happened to you, but it can be fixed. Wash it really good but don’t add any more oil. Place it upside down in a 450 to a 500-degree oven and bake it for an hour to an hour and a half. Turn the oven off and let it cool down completely. Usually, overnight is fine. See if this helps, and let me know how it works out for you, ok!?
I use oven cleaner all over and seal in a plastic bag overnight.
It will be stripped of all seasoning.
But then I wash and reseason. Good as new.
@@babalu-oc6iu May try this on mine. I haven’t used it in years because it’s got hard stuff on it that I couldn’t figure out how to get off. I wish they made a metal tool with groves that you could use. No idea why they don’t make one with a screwdriver type handle.
I have that pan . I stopped using it. No one wanted to clean it with the grooves.
I can understand that, Moni! But with this trick, it’s not bad at all!
@@MrCastIron your right I used it today thanks to your video
Awesome!!
I have the same pan without grooves. I tried to use yesterday. I have no idea what happened it has a horrid smell after. I made waygu I think that's how you spell it. It so Gross 🤢. Not sure if it is pan or if it's what made my pan stink to me. Please can you help me get this smell out or do I need a new pan?
You could scrub it with salt and a small amount of water to remove the smell. Let me know how it turns out for you!
Way to much work. A ceramic coated frying pan works just fine.
takes about 5 minutes. not that long
