The Correct Way To Season Cast Iron Grids

1. Seasoning Cast Iron Grids:
Spread a thin coating of cooking oil ( Vegetable, Olive, Peanut, Canola, Sunflower) over entire surface of the cast iron grids 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. Never use non-stick sprays to season your grids, as they just don¹t work. They burn off at a really low heat and do not protect the grids well.

Preheat barbecue for 10 minutes on HIGH. Turn burners to MEDIUM with lid closed. Allow barbecue to heat for 30 minutes. Turn all burners to OFF. Leave cooking grids in barbecue until they are cool. Your cast iron grids are now ready to use.

Reseasoning:
After each use the grids should be reseasoned by coating with a cooking oil, closing the lid and leaving the cast iron grids in the barbecue until it is cool.

Storage:
When Barbecue is not in use for long periods of time, store Cast Iron Grids in a dry warm place.

2. Why is it important to season cast iron grids?
Just like a cast iron frying pan it is necessary to season, and re-season, cast iron cooking grids. The oil will help protect the porcelain coating, decrease sticking, and protect damaged or worn grids from rusting. Only use household cooking oils (Olive, Vegetable, Peanut, Sunflower, Canola, to name a few).

Convection cooking requires no basting, no turning, and yields no flare-ups. The result is a juicy and flavourful meal. In better gas grills such as Broil King®, the burner and oven are engineered as a unit to provide even cooking and infinite heat settings.		For turkey or chicken cooked to perfection, use your barbecue and cook by the rotisserie method. The constant turning allows the poultry to self-baste in its natural juices. Fill the drip pan 1/2 inch from top with cranberry or cran-apple juice. If cranberry juice is not available use water. The mixture of natural drippings and juice vaporizes, and automatically bastes the turkey. This imparts the great flavour
