To clean a Blackstone grill, start by letting the grill cool slightly but keep it warm. Use a metal spatula or scraper to remove leftover food scraps and residue. If there is stuck-on food, pour some hot water on the surface to loosen it and then scrape again. Wipe the surface with paper towels or a cloth to remove moisture and debris. Finally, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the grill surface to season it and prevent rust. Use specialized Blackstone accessories like a scouring pad or seasoning spray for best results.
Step-by-step guide:
- Let the griddle cool down slightly after cooking.
- Scrape food bits and residue off with a metal spatula or scraper.
- Pour hot water on stubborn residue to loosen it, then scrape again.
- Wipe the surface dry with paper towels or cloth.
- Apply a thin coat of oil (such as Blackstone seasoning oil or cooking oil) to protect the surface.
- For rust removal, scrape rust off while the grill is hot, scrub with oil and a grill stone, then season the surface again.
This method cleans the grill efficiently while maintaining the non-stick seasoned surface of the Blackstone griddle and preventing rust buildup.
