How do you season it with bacon grease?

It is stainless steel, It doesn't need seasoned. That is just for those old heavy the cast iron ones.

I did not season it, don't think that is necessary, I used Crisco for frying however.

I did not season it at all, I just started using it to cook what ever I was preparing in it.

Carole, another trick is to rub the fatty edge of the meat along the *hot* grates. You could also spray with Pam *before* heating it.

While skillet is still warm, dump in some kosher salt. Scrub under running water with a sponge or stiff brush. Rinse. Sometimes I need to repeat until the salt stays white (esp true if I cooked up bacon). Dry completely and immediately. Use a little bit of grapeseed oil to protect the pan. You don't want to use soap, steel wool, or put the pan in the dishwasher as it will strip the pan's seasoning. You also don't want to soak the pan in water because the pan will rust.

There are directions given with the pan when you purchase. I used Canola oil. I placed a teaspoon of oil in the pan and made certain to cover the entire inside of the pan. I placed the pan in a warm oven 250 degree Farenheight. For the time specified in the directions one hour. This is how you season a pan. You cannot wash the pan in soapy water as this will undo the seasoning. I rinse and scrape my pan with hot water to clean it.If needed I add a drop of Canola oil to re season it. Please read and follow directions given with the pan.

The best way i know how is to clean them with dish liquid (wash) let dry, put them on your grill and put a whole pack of bacon on them and cook till done. do not scrub them just drain the grease from you grill and you good to go! you could also just clean then coat them grates with cooking oil and cook on low that will look too.

1. Make sure most of the liquidy surface grease is removed by pouring out as much of it into the drain pan. 2. Use paper towels to remove any remaining surface grease/oils and food particles. 3.Use dish soap with water and a soft sponge (DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE SUCH AS BRILLO OR SOS PADS) to wash the surface. 4. Rinse well and let dry. Your griddle will always be ready for use again.

I wipe out the bottom of tray and then set in Hot soapy water to soak Dawn works well and then use the kitchen sprayer. Last I always place the bacon cooker on top shelf of our dishwasher upside down and was with dishes. Have done it that way since we bought it. Use every 3 days and not the first bit of a problem. I pour the grease out into metal can half way thru cooking time and at the end. Wonderful product. Thinking about buying a few more to give to relatives. Now I need a good microwave egg poacher!

Unfortunately this waffle iron is not preseasoned when you get it. Before you use it you must season it yourself. There are several good videos on Youtube on how to do this. Basically it should be seasoned just like any other cast iron cookware. Rinse lightly to remove packing dust. Then dry it thoroughly and lightly brush it with olive oil or bacon fat. Place it in your oven at about 350 degrees for at least one hour. Shut the oven off and let it cool completely before using. Oh yes, very important, unscrew and remove the wooden handles before seasoning the iron. Put them back on after the iron has completely cooled.

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

When still hot, you can pour the grease out; once it hardens, you can wipe it out with paper towel. I run mine through the dishwasher, but washing by hand in hot soapy water should work just fine. We use ours 2-3 times a week. I love it & am amazed how much grease comes out of 6 slices of bacon.

You season it in hot oil...leave it in the hot oil to season for about 20 minutes or so....use it hot, never begin with a cold iron you will never make any

Just wash it lightly and spray some Pam before you set it on the burners. It doesn't need to be seasoned like a cast iron pan or anything like that.

Only water- more you use more it gets seasoned- don't use any brush or metal- Like any cast iron- after I use I clean while hot still on grill- I use soaking wet paper towel and with a tong wipe down with wet towel- push any fat droplets off to side

Personally I heat it for a few minutes beforehand, like 5 minutes on high. then hit it with Misto Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer (olive oil) or pam for grilling which does an alright job also... If your cooking breakfast, I suggest bacon makes it really slick. Only tough part with the bacon is things will slide if its not perfectly level. If you don't like bacon please ignore my response and keep things sticking.

It is seasoned with paraffin wax. You'll need to re-season it, once you receive it.

I've used nothing but canola oil to get the grill seasoned. Get it screaming hot, cover down, anything on the grate from last use will pretty much be ash & easily scraped with the triangular cleaning tool. Use a small hand whisk brush to get rid of the ash. Another spray with canola oil & get'r hot again. IT WILL SMOKE. Nature of the beast. Spray burgers lightly with canola before placing on the smoking hot grate. I use nothing more than 90/10 mix. Too much fat means more flame up. I'll leave 'em on a couple minutes or less, give 'em a quarter turn, same with other side, then finish up with lowered heat until desired done. I do pretty much the same with steaks, chops, & fish. A light spray with the oil before slapping on the grill, prevents sticking & helps keep any seasonings where they should be, on the meat. For chicken, I've added 4 - 1/4" eye bolts to an old grill that raises the meat an 1-1/2" or so to slow grill the meat. I've found a basket type flat grill at Safeway I place on top of the grate when grilling fish, shrimp, veggies and sliced fruit. Again, I'll lightly spray it and the food before grilling. You're always gonna get some Smoke, but after the initial searing, turning the gas down & watching placement of your meat on the grill should keep the smoking manageable. Doug

No, it does not need to be cleaned, burned in or seasoned. If you really want to coat the inside with a smokey texture before your first big project, toss a wad of country bacon in there for a few hours and let it smoke until it falls apart. It will smell like heaven :)
