Seasoning my flat top

[grottolee]

Hi I just got a used flat top grill for my place, and I have a question. When I cook cheesesteaks and burgers a lot of times they will stick to it. Ive used flat tops in the past where everything just slides around. Is it possible to reseason it? Ive used all of the different techniques I know of to no avail. Any tips? After cooking like 3 steaks the flattop is black and sticky.

In the olden days…

before Teflon pans were the ‘norm’…

we, as short order cooks, doing eggs in pans, would occasionally have to re-season a pan if too many eggs were continually sticking…

1st, we’d scrub out the pan with soap & water & dry upside down over the grill…

then we’d put in a thick layer of salt and set it aside on the low end of the grill for several hours…

then we’d toss out most of the salt & add some butter & make a ‘roux’ for what it was worth…using a wooden spoon to mix and continue to heat…

toss out the mix & wipe w/a paper towel…

we never ‘washed’ these pans and only used butter - not margarine or any substitute…

try a similar procedure & after the flat top is clean…no H2O…use butter & watch the temp…

for what its worth…
