Cooking on a enamel griddle
I have decided to start over with my enamel griddle. Like any dysfunctional relationship I am afraid of the past repeating ;)
I would like to try grilling fish, chicken and beef, but last time I did this is stuck and ruined the appearance.
Any tips on how to keep the tops of the groove oiled so it doesn't stick. Or general tips on what i"m probably doing wrong.
I bought the griddle at a sale store and it's from the Michael Chiarello Napa Style line.
Enamel Griddle Update
I saw a few replies and wanted to add more info.
The stains are unaffected by soap and scrubbing and plastic scrappers and soaking.
The stuff that is on there isn't chunky at all, but some kind of dark film from the chicken and veggies I cooked. And on the flat side there are stains from french toast!
The idea of sandblasting just sounds fun. If it would remove all of the enamel and leave me with a plain cast iron griddle I'd be happy to spend the time with the help of my dad.
When I asked him if he thought it would do the job, he replied "well we can always torch it till the porcelain cracks and then chip away the procelain." :)
Do y'all think I should just ignore the stains?
How to clean or resurface an enamel griddle
I bought a castiron enamel covered griddle a few months ago.
I called the company when I was having trouble cleaning and they told me to simmer vinegar on it. Vinegar works on pots and pans, but a griddle is too shallow and just didn't work as well.
Does anyone know of a way to clean the griddle?
My dad has a sandblasting machine and I am tempted to remove the enamel with it, will that work?
I would love a plain cast iron griddle finish.
