Proper cleaning is essential to maintaining a cast iron grill griddle and preserving its seasoning. After each use, allow the griddle to cool slightly, but not completely, before cleaning. Scrape off any food residue with a stiff brush or scraper, then rinse with hot water—avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning. If necessary, use a paste of coarse salt and water to scrub off stubborn bits. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the griddle to prevent rust, and apply a thin layer of oil to the surface to maintain the seasoning. Store the griddle in a dry place, preferably with a paper towel or cloth between the cooking surface and the lid to allow air circulation. Proper care will ensure that your cast iron grill griddle remains a reliable and durable cooking tool for years to come.
