MAINTAINING SEASONING

The cast iron grill grates are coated with an enamel finish to prevent rusting. Seasoning is not required, but care should be taken to maintain the finish. After each use or prior to cooking, heat the grates on medium heat for several minutes. Use a brass or stainless steel brush to clean. Apply a small amount of Camp Chef Cast Iron Conditioner, and thinly coat all surfaces of the cast iron. Over time, this will make your cast iron black, creating a finish called a “patina.” This enhances your cast iron by creating a glass-like finish, giving it a non-stick surface.
Additional seasoning ideas can be found online at: https://www.campchef.com

Store your cookware in a dry, clean area with a light coating of Cast Iron Conditioner. Your cast iron will be ready for use the next time you retrieve it. Avoid any locations with widely fluctuating temperature conditions. If your cast iron becomes rusty, soak the area in cola to remove the rust and then re-season.

CLEANING

When cool, wash your cast iron thoroughly with a non-citrus based soap and water. Be sure to rinse and dry completely. (Note: Soap can remove the seasoning of your cast iron if you don’t restore it after cleaning.)

TIPS

1. Wash cast iron in hot water and dry thoroughly. Wipe cooking surface with cooking oil to help prevent sticking. 
2. Frozen food should be completely thawed before cooking. Use naturally lean meats and poultry. 
3. Trim excess fat from all meat, this will reduce flare-ups. If flare-ups occur, use lid to assist in putting the flame out by simply replacing it on the grill. 
4. Use tongs or spatula instead of a fork or knife when turning meats. Some of the meats juices will be lost if pierced. 
5. Marinating meats for several hours will break down the cellular structure generally tenderizing and flavoring the meat and will also reduce cooking time. 

OPTION: Instead of long hours of marinating use a marinade injector kit and fill the meat instantly full of flavor. Injector kits can be found at most grocery stores or kitchen supply stores.

SMOKING TIPS

1. To obtain a “smoke” flavor, use wood chips or chunks such as hickory, mesquite, apple or cherry wood. Any fruit or nut tree wood may be used for flavoring. 
2. Do not use resinous woods such as pine, they produce an unpleasant taste. Soak wood chips in water according to directions for flavor smoking. 
3. Soaking the chips will cause them to smoke for a longer period of time rather than burning up quickly. 
4. Place wood chips under the cast iron cooking grate. The amount of chips used will determine how intense or subtle the flavor will be. 
5. Smoke-cooked food may still look a little pink when fully cooked. Close attention is advised to prevent over-cooking..
