I screwed up my seasoning by getting in a hurry and adding oil (soybean) too fast. I would like to remove it and start over. What is the best way?

    The first thing I would do is just get it hot and try wiping it with paper towels or a dry cloth rag.  You might find once the oil heats up you can even it out, leave a thin layer, and let it cool. 

    If that doesn't seem to be working then try water (while the griddle is hot), then move to water and dish soap.  

    If all that fails then sandpaper and elbow grease, but that really shouldn't be necessary.  I think you should only have to resort to sandpaper if there is rust. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Dish soap and water are probably your best bet.  Not while it's hot, you'd want to remove the top and do this out in the yard while it's cool.  Just dry it real well and then go heat it up on the burners and re-season it.  You don't want to let it sit with no seasoning on it.

    Ash it with heat, or sand it.  Soap and water doesn't removed fully
    polymerized oil.

    @Furall   Good luck on stripping it.  Would you mind explaining how it got messed up, so I can avoid it?  How did soybean oil mess it up?

    @blasting, the soybean oil was fine I just got a little heavy handed with it. Even thin coats is what you want. I just got anxious and got in a hurry.

    ok, thank you.  If it was during seasoning I'm well past that phase.  just didn't want to screw mine up.

    I just used green onions, then a few pounds of bacon.  Worked like a charm ever since.

    Is ash like blast?

    @Ozzie_Isaac Sorry, yes.  In my business we have a test where we "ash" all organic matter by heating it.  Anything organic is burned and only ash remains.  The seasoning is organic.

    You can also use a solvent to remove.  I think isopropyl alcohol works.  Methylene chloride definitely works but I doubt most people have it laying around.

    @nolaegghead cool!  Never thought of it that way.  Interesting the terms one gets used too.
