Cast Iron Cooking Grates Care Instructions

WARNING: Follow all safety instructions provided with your barbecue. Do not drop cast iron grates, they will break.

First Time Use - Wash thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the wax coating used for protection in shipping. Rinse with warm water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY, OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. You must season the grates before first use to prevent rust and keep foods from sticking.

Seasoning Cast Iron Grates - A SOLID vegetable shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening over entire surface of the cast iron grates with a paper towel. Be certain the entire surface, including all corners, has been coated thoroughly. (Do not use salted fat such as margarine or butter.)

Turn burners to M-O-M with lid closed (M = Medium, O = Off, H = High, L = Low. Turn burners to M-M if you have a two burner Silver A model). Preheat grill for 10 minutes.

Place cast iron grates back in grill. Allow grill to heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn all burners to OFF. Leave grates in barbecue until they are cool. Your cast iron grates are now ready to use.

Maintenance - Brush debris off with a steel bristled wire brush.

Reseasoning - After each use the grates may be reseasoned by coating with a solid vegetable shortening, closing the lid and leaving the cast iron grates in grill until it is cool.

Tips - The cast iron grates will turn black with use. The pores of the iron will be sealed, providing a durable coating that helps to prevent foods from sticking. The grates will further season with use. REGULAR APPLICATIONS OF SOLID VEGETABLE SHORTENING WILL IMPROVE ITS RESISTANCE TO RUST.

Rust, a metallic taste or discolored foods are signs of improper or inadequate seasoning or may result from cooking acidic foods If rust occurs you can remove the rust with a steel brush. Then re-season the grates.

Caution

To prevent rusting the cast iron cooking grates should be re-seasoned frequently, particularly when new. Rusting is not a manufacturers defect.

Since cast iron holds heat well, you will not need to use extremely high cooking temperatures. Best results are obtained with medium to medium-high heat. Do not overheat.

As with all cast iron, the more the use, the easier the maintenance.

Note: Prior to storing, grease very lightly with solid vegetable shortening, then wipe dry with a paper towel. Store in a dry place.
