Here’s How To Get The Rust Off A Blackstone Griddle So It’s Spotless
BY AMANDA BELLUCCO-CHATHAM
Since rust only forms on the surface of a Blackstone griddle, you can scrape off this layer. The steps are similar to the regular process of cleaning after cooking.
First, turn on your griddle to high heat and let it sit for 20 minutes to loosen the rust particles. After 20 minutes, kill the heat.
Let the flat-top cool down, and begin scraping the surface with your metal scraper tool until you've removed all areas of corrosion and debris.
Next, splash a few tablespoons of oil across the griddle top and scrub it with a grill stone. Medium-grit sandpaper or a piece of steel wool will also work.
Repeat the oil-and-scrub routine until there are no traces of rust coming off the cooktop. Finally, re-season the griddle to keep it protected from future corrosion.
