    A splash of water, a quick scrape, and a slather of oil. That's what I do right after I pull the food off. Takes less than 1 minute and then you are ready to eat with the family. Don't leave that dirty griddle until after you're done eating! It's easier to clean when it's hot. That water will boil off and help deglaze and sugars. I also like the last coat of oil to go on while the griddle is still hot. Helps keep that layer of seasoning! I love my griddle!

      ​@@thugnasty5242 I use Avacado oil (has a higher smoke point than olive oil). I'm sure regular vegetable oil is fine too if you eat that crap.

    THANK YOU!!!!!! Just got a 22 adventure ready, I've seen the "level 3" cleaning videos but couldn't find much to tell me what to do if it's a very simple clean. After my first seasoning, I did chicken quesadillas on mine and when I was done I just wiped it down with paper towel to get the crums off and it still looked perfectly seasoned and clean so I left it at that, didnt add more oil but there was already oil from my cook. This video helps a ton! Very easy video and will make my life much easier. It sounds like what i did was correct but i didnt add more oil. However, there was already thin layer of oil and gridle is clean so i think i kind of did what you said in video without thinking about it. But at least now i know for sure lol. Thank you thank you thank you!!

  • @ChrisPollard
    @ChrisPollard 10 місяців тому

    You make it look pretty simple, probably because it is. Just got a 28" Blackstone today ... it was my uncle's who passed away this spring. Estate was selling it off, so it's staying in the family. He actually custom made a steel grate for it so they could use it like a camp stove and put pots and pans right over the burners. I think he mostly used it that way ... because the griddle itself looks like it MAY have been used once. There were a couple of dark spots, but I don't think it ever came up to temperature. LOL Cleaned it with some soapy water and a steel scouring pad, then cranked up the heat and seasoned it black. May have to break it in with some breakfast tomorrow if the weather isn't bad. :) Can't wait to try making stuff on it!

    I have a way that utilizes chainmail that I got from Amazon. It’s about 6x8”. After I scrape and wipe on a level 3 clean I put it flat on the surface and quiet the water onto the chainmail. Then use to ga to slide the chainmail around on the griddle. It picks up food and oil that may be left. Then I quickly wipe again with a paper towel before finish with oil. I have a small stainless bowl to place the chainmail in. Fill it with hot water and I have a concentrated degreaser that I add just a small amount. Swish it around and rinse. Either hang it to dry or roll it in a paper towel. If at home I drape it on the top level of the dishwasher. It really works great.

    Todd I don’t know if everyone is like me but I found something I was lacking to maintain and have not seen addressed.
    I have had the Blackstone adventure ready for about 4 years. Bought for my RV but liked it so much it was also used at home. Just bought a new griddle and was cleaning up to give to my nephew so was taking down to deliver it. I realized I never took the grill top off so didn’t see the areas of rust where the top connects to the stand. I would suggest people break down their griddle about once a year to look at this and have some high temperature paint to use after cleaning the whole grill.
