YOU MUST SEASON CAST IRON COOKING GRIDS

Just like a cast iron frying pan, it is necessary to season and re-season cast iron

cooking grids. The oil will help protect the porcelain coating, prevent food from

sticking and protect the cooking grids from rusting.

FIRST TIME USE SEASONING YOUR CAST IRON COOKING GRIDS

Before you cook for the ﬁrst time, you need to preheat your barbecue grill for 10

minutes on HIGH. This will burn oﬀ any residue from the manufacturing process.

Now, turn oﬀ your grill. When the cooking grids have cooled, you are ready to season

your new cooking grids.

A solid, unsalted vegetable shortening is

recommended for the initial seasoning.

Apply a thin coating over entire surface of

the cast iron grids and rub it in with a paper

towel. You can also melt the shortening in

the microwave and apply with a silicone

basting brush. If you don’t want to use

unsalted vegetable shortening, grape seed

or olive oil will work as well. As an option,

you can apply these oils with a Broil King

oil mister.

Broil King’s cast iron cooking grids are

two-sided so apply a generous coating of

oil to both sides. Make sure you cover the

entire surface of the grids including the

corners. DO NOT use salted fat such

as margarine or butter. Non-stick

cooking sprays are less eﬀective as

they burn oﬀ at low heat.

Now that you have applied oil to your new

cast iron grids, preheat the barbecue grill

for 10 minutes on HIGH. Turn the control

knobs to MEDIUM and heat for 30 minutes

with the lid closed. The oil becomes baked-

on and creates a non-stick protective layer. Now turn the control knobs OFF. After the

cooking grids have cooled, your cast iron cooking grids are seasoned and ready to use.
