Get a steel mesh cleaner. The Ringer is one brand.

Makes cleaning cast iron much easier and faster.

I put water and sea salt in the pan. Scrub with the mesh. Coat with oil.

The mesh cleaning pads also work well with other pots and pans.

First thing I did was quit using the gas grill, except for Bubba Burgers. 😉** -- B777Fr8Dog 08/25/2021 09:05AM

Ahhh, Bubba Burgers! They were a tailgate staple for our group for YEARS ** -- Nova Hokie 95 08/25/2021 11:56AM

I like the Angus ones ** -- B777Fr8Dog 08/25/2021 5:12PM

Dice/mince onions and mix in with the meat. One egg and breadcrumbs as -- ElbertoHokie 08/25/2021 09:03AM

Just seasoning and salt and cook it slow - flipping not smashing ** -- bigbadbird 08/25/2021 08:53AM

Mix ground Buffalo with 80/20 hamburger... -- vthhhi 08/25/2021 08:36AM

Don’t pack the meat tight. Season the outside, not mixed in. -- HokieSignGuy 08/25/2021 08:14AM

After a lifetime of grilling burgers, I've all but quit using the grill -- JoesterVT 08/25/2021 08:13AM

Me too. Smash burgers are fast and tasty. -- No Clue 08/25/2021 11:23AM

Yeah, a cast iron does burgers better than anything. Toss one on the grill -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:15AM

I have been using a skillet on the gas grill and green egg. -- GreenvilleVT 08/25/2021 08:48AM

Woo, I’ll have to try that. I rarely use cast iron on my stovetop anymore -- HokieSignGuy 08/25/2021 08:19AM

We also do steaks that way. I've reverse seared and finished in the skillet -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:28AM

You need a very good hood to do that inside -- hoosnowahokie 08/25/2021 08:53AM

Yeah, the smoke was bad. The flame that touched the bottom of the hood -- reestuart 08/25/2021 09:18AM

I use this method as well. Pain to clean up later but worth it ** -- pburg_hokie 08/25/2021 08:18AM

I've been thinking of getting a flat iron type deal to put out on the grill -- reestuart 08/25/2021 08:36AM

I use rectangular 18x10 cast iron griddle from Amazon -- pburg_hokie 08/25/2021 08:44AM

Yeah, definitely something like that in my grill's future. ** -- reestuart 08/25/2021 09:17AM
