Hi, has anyone had success with this product on a cast iron grill?

We have a tru infrared, with cast iron grates and it works very well. Hubby does the cleaning and is quite happy with it.

We have used it on our whole grill and have been very pleased with the results. Our grates come very clean if we let it soak for 3 min. as per instructions. We highly recommend this product and are on our 2nd bottle.

I have used it on an outside propane burner and in the oven. I have not tried it on a charcoal or gas grill.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I can help. I have not had this problem. I "seasoned" the cast iron grate as the directions instructed prior to my first use. I clean the grate with a brass wire brush, after use, then oil the grate after it cools. I do not wash the grate nor have I let it get wet, it is stored between uses in the grill, and always with fresh oil applied. Hope this helps.

I've used it on my cast iron grill grates for a couple of years, and haven't keeled over yet. No weird taste to the chow either. I use a kitchen rag saturated in the product.

i would say yes. i read a review that 1 customer would burn a small fire in his grill to roast marshmellows. and i quess it would help burn out the food residue if any. you just cant beat cast iron.

It works great. I use it on my stainless steel (and even Pyrex occasionally), in addition to my cast iron. Just fyi ... it has done a remarkable job on my cast iron wok, getting rid of the gritty stuff and leaving it with a lovely seasoned finish.

I have used it in both the bbq grill and a campfire. it worked well. It needs to be seasoned well first though.

I have not used this on my grill. I only use it on my stainless steel appliances and love it for that.

There is no reason that it wouldn't work. However, one does not typically season the outside or underside of a cast-iron pan. Any time you cooked pan-side up...you would burn off the underside seasoning.

Oh, yeah. Cast iron can handle the high heat. You're gonna love the grill marks. It's really the way to go.

I've used it several times on my ceramic stove top. No damage at all, but it does not cook as well as on the grill. Takes much longer on the ceramic stove.

We just brush off under running water, no soap. Then dry well, spray with cooking oil and re season in a large gas grill just as you would cast iron cookware. Shows no sign of chipping or rusting to date.

I believe the material of the grill surface is different-- aluminum vs. cast iron. I've been told that this makes a huge difference.

Oh yes, it will eventually make your porcelain flake! It may take a year or so but it will happen. I would only use these brushes on stainless grates. For our Weber porcelain-coated cast iron grates, we use a wadded up piece of newspaper & tongs. Get your grates hot & then rub them clean. I wish Weber sold stainless versions of their grates for ALL their grills. They are so much nicer. You still get killer grill marks, heat retention without all the trouble with cast iron flaking. I've never had to replace a stainless grate but the cast iron is another story....

If you follow the instructions and wash it (I also sanded my old grill down) and apply multiple coats the enamel should stick just fine and definitely make it look better. It is a little more dull than I was expecting, but I've found it worked great for replacing the coating on all of my grills.

The pan comes pre-seasoned, and the seasoning is pretty effective. To supplement the original job, use flax seed oil. It's available in most health food stores or a hardware store as linseed oil. Just make sure you get the RAW linseed oil. Before using any oil, give it the sniff test to make sure it is not rancid. Something like eight ounces will last you for years - just store it in the fridge. To use, pour a small puddle of the oil in the pan about the size of a quarter. Then take a paper towel, fold it up several times, and wipe the oil around the inside of the pan. Make sure you don't miss any spots. Your objective is a smooth, thin, shiny coating over the complete pan. Then take the same piece of paper towel and wipe down the outside. Of course, the outside is less critical. Now to cure the oil. You have several choices. Place the pan in the oven upside down, turn the heat up to about 400 or so, and bake the pan for an hour. Turn off the oven, and let it cool slowly in the oven. Sometimes this procedure will stink up your kitchen, so another option is outside on the grill. The procedure is the same, but this time heat up the grill to 500-550 F. Actually this is the preferred approach, but not everyone has an outside grill. After repeated uses, the pan will get 'sticky' for things like eggs, so I do a quicky when that happens. Again, apply a coating of flax seed oil as above. Assuming you have a gas stove, turn on a small burner about half way and place the pan over the burner upside down. Let it there for 15-30 minutes. Again, afterwards let it cool slowly. Don't touch it until you're sure it's cool, or you'll regret it. These pans do require oil when cooking. Myself, I use either olive oil or canola oil. Use whatever you think is the healthiest for your family. All this sounds very complicated, but it really isn't - just a few basic steps. Apply some oil, wipe, heat. That's all there is to it. Personally, I like iron and steel pans, and I think this one works like a charm. Bon appetit!
