MRMATTGriddle reseasoning oil recommendation
Our outdoor griddle suffered some rusting after it's vinyl cover tore in a storm. After I remove the rust, what oil would work best to help recondition and season it? Thanks.
Matt

You'll want to avoid sugar, so be careful what bacon you use.
I use crisco, avocado oil, or the Blackstone seasoning. They all work well.

trapper189I just use cheap vegetable oil. Bacon grease is too valuable.

That’s the seasoning I used as recommended by the manufacturer of my char grill griller.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

GustoferAnimal fats have been seasoning iron cookware for a few thousand years, long before the fancy foo-foo oils of today.
Lard or tallow for me.

StorminNorminI use peanut oil to season my cast iron and wok. I only don’t use avocado oil because I might feed something to my birds. I do have a griddle/cast iron seasoning product that I have not tried yet.

TheBullI've been using canola/veg oil on the cast iron pans for like 20 years. It's been good enough for me. For cast grill parts, I'll warm them and apply crisco. Cooking bacon seems to a good sealer on completely scoured and re-seasoned after a round or 2 of oils

HRKAvocado oil as well, Publix sells their generic brand so it's not to terribly expensive and a little goes a long way.
