Care & Maintenance
To keep your Broil King Cast Iron Griddle in peak condition and prevent rust, follow these simple steps:
First Time Use
1. Wash Your Grids
- Wash the cooking grids with mild dish soap and water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a towel.
- Never air-dry the grids and never use a dishwasher.
2. Season Your Grids
Apply Oil to the Grids
Coat both sides of the cast iron grids generously using a Broil King® oil mister or a silicone brush. Ensure every surface is evenly covered.
Use High-Smoke-Point Oils Only
- Avocado Oil – 260°C / 500°F
- Rice Bran Oil – 255°C / 500°F
- Canola Oil – 204°C / 400°F
Do Not Use:
- Salted fats such as margarine or butter
- Non-stick cooking sprays (they burn off at low heat)
3. Light the Grill
- Light your grill and set it to Medium/Low (400°F / 200°C).
- Heat for 30 minutes to bake on the oil and create a non-stick protective layer.
- Turn the grill off and allow the grids to cool.
Your grids are now seasoned and ready to use.
Before & After Every Cookout
Clean Your Grids
Stainless Steel Grill Brush
- Brush the grids before and after each use.
- Inspect the surface to ensure no broken bristles remain.
Wooden Grill Scraper
- An effective alternative to steel brushes.
- Use it to scrape food debris from the top and between the grids.
Season Lightly After Cleaning
Apply a thin, even coat of high-smoke-point oil to both sides using an oil mister or silicone brush.
Restoring Cast Iron Grids
- Remove any rust with a grill brush.
- Lift out the grids and wash with mild dish soap.
- Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a towel.
- Do not drip-dry and do not use a dishwasher.
- Return the grids to the grill and re-season following the first-time seasoning steps.
Storing Your Cast Iron Grids
If you will not be using your barbecue grill for an extended period:
- Apply a light coat of oil to the grids.
- Store them in a clean, dry place to prevent rust and moisture buildup.
