Cast Iron Grate Care

How do you guys care for your CI grates?

Hawg Fan · August 2010

I clean mine with a wire brush, preferably when it's hot after a cook. After a few uses the CI grate will be seasoned and should never be washed in soapy water. I usually wipe mine down with a wet rag after the Egg is up to cooking temperature to remove any residue.
Right or wrong, it works for me.

That is pretty much what I do as well, nothing spacial.

Cook on it a lot and keep it greasey.

It's all I use.

Wish I had the same problem. I can't buy one here in Italy. I am considering having one made. Andy

I keep feeding it food.

I store mine in the egg. Even if I am not using it, when I am finished cooking I remove whatever setup i cooked on and put the CI and the Daisy Wheel top in the still hot egg and close her down. Never have a problem

I don't. Well, if there are too many large chunks of butt stuck to it, I might scrape them off before I put the chicken on. Other than that, nuthin'.

That's easy to do - just find a rectangular cast iron grate and cut one out!
