can you use steel wool or steel scouring pads to quickly clean residues of this square skillet grill

I would be afraid to use abrasive cleaners, as they may ruin the finish. I soak the pan in hot water and residues remove quickly .

I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean. Before I grill something like steak or chops I will spray a little Pam on the surface of the pan. If food grade silicone is not your thing then an oil of your choice would be fine. When you are finished cooking pour a little water on the pan and let the pan cool. The food will loosen up and you can rinse it away with warm water without damaging the nonstick surface. Even modern cast iron needs a chance to build up a good seasoned coating. If you wash it with soap and hot water each time it doesn't have a chance to season. I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean.

I don't. I put in water as soon as I am done cleaning and let it boil as the skillet cools, then I use a plastic scrubber. I have not tried steel wool.

personally, I have been using Scott Brite dish washing pads without any issue. for hard build up, I scrubbed it with a hard piece of plastic. Amazon sells the tools for this too but it's not that perfect. it does the job though.

not recomended to use steel wool on any of the products. I use a soft bristel brush that is safe for use on the pan and it works great

I use all of the above to clean with but SOS pads clean the best of all of them. The grill does not leave marks on the meat, it is a broiler pan and the heat comes from the top not the bottom.

Heat the grill up to temperature, oil the grates using a rolled up paper towel saturated with vegetable oil and you should be fine. I rarely have food stick to this grill and I've been using it for over 3 yrs. now. Cleanup is a breeze, just brush it down with a grill brush after you finish cooking while the grill is still hot and then again before you start cooking. Wait until the grill is hot and brush it down again and then oil the grates as I mentioned above.

I don't have a cast iron skillet, BUT I would say yes to cleaning the skillet with this pad.

I have scrub pads that I use on my ceramic stove that I use to clean the grill pan. You can use metal utensils on it without damaging it (on the grill). I have never had anything stick to the under pan, so clean-up is super easy. I've never seen grill marks on the meat, but, honestly, I haven't looked for them either.

Any steel brush will do , I take the grill and scrub it with a Brillo pad in my sink , cleans up nicely

I will generously rub vegetable oil over the entire grate while hot every time it looks dry. I would suggest doing this before you use it for the first time. This keeps the grates conditioned and rust free. If you do this to any cast iron cooking surface it is very easy to clean. I use a cheap Dollar General grill brush. Works great. This grill is a little pricey for the size but I love it and I think you will too. Hope this helps.

Did you use a cooking spray on it before you used it. That's not good. It can cause stains that are very difficult to remove and clean. A scouring pad should do the job with some soap. Barkeep's Friend should certainly help. If all fails use an SOS pad.

Its cast iron so cleaning involves wiping it off with a paper towel. If you are worried about sanitizing, then cast iron would not be the best choice. The squares keep it from sticking to the press while it is cooking the meat. It works great and I use it for everything from bacon to steaks.

Let it soak with dish soap. Would not use steel wool or any scrubbing cloth.

Elbow grease and a scouring pad, I use one of those yellow sponges with a green pad on one side and get to it soon after using.

I use an SOS pad to clean mine. It does not damage the finish. I have cleans it several times.

Probably not that aggressive a cleaner. I'm at a loss to what would do it, unless you try course steel wool at first. Then finer. It really is not a very aggressive tool. Of course you will have to reseason it no matter what you use, which is not that difficult.

The out side of the grill you can't. The inside grill portion use a grill scrub brush.

This product is excellent! I have stainless steel cookware with copper bottoms, which I use almost on the daily basis. I found cleaning my cookware with this product doesn't leave any scratches and will not use anything else. As to the burn marks on the edges inside of your steel fry pan, I would suggest you apply a very small amount to a soft cloth or paper towel and rub that area lightly.

Hi,I use dish detergent. For stubborn use fine steel wool or SOS pads that have soap in them. The pads do not seem to scratch the surface but I have noticed that metal spoons, spatulas do. I use Pam cooking spray before I cook in this beautiful baker. We cooked a prime rib in it Christmas eve. Easy clean up for stainless steel.
