    You should move the pans of food on the side before cleaning. Especially if you added a chemical pouch.

      Doing well includes removing food from potential chemical contamination. Say what you will, but cleaning chemicals are not part of the recipe.

    Thanks for the reminder, it was oddly comforting. I cooked in a chain breakfast restaurant for years, but I couldn't support a family on the wages. It's been sixteen years, and I pay the bills with an o.k. job, but nothing was as gratifying as cleaning my grill and pans at the end of the day.

    • @nathanberard696
      @nathanberard696 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bittyboo52. It depends on what the cooking surface of your griddle is. His is stainless, which doesn't develop a layer of "seasoning". If you buy a griddle with a mild steel or cast iron cooking surface, then it will season, and your correct, a commercial cleanser would strip off your seasoning.

    • @Mister006
      @Mister006 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That look of a completely clean griddle, looking nearly brand-new in a completely cleaned kitchen after a long, crazy, sweaty day of hard work behind the grill, the griddle, etc...
      I still think of how comforting this feels, and I haven't been in the industry since the early 1990's, but this one thing is the one thing that I go back to in my minds eye.

However, it would have been nice and really educating for us the watchers if you or someone else filming the video would've: 1.- Show the pouch of chemical you used at the beginning. 2.- Explain what was the greenish liquid that looked like lemonade you poured out of a jug on top of the griddle and 3.- Show us what was that last can of spray at the end

      @awesomeguynamedjon you are correct that most chefs take a role of management..I can only speak on my own knowledge.. I do not work in the food industry but I do enjoy a good meal.. My best friend is a masterchef and yes he has the Credentials to prove it .. all I can speak on is his way of doing things He leads by example period he never ask someone to do something he would not do himself.. I have been in the kitchen with him and his crew the respects him and he gives respect even to the dishwasher he believes in a team effort.. we all should in life support and treat people the way you would want to be treated.. thanks for replying to my original statement peace and grace to you ✌️

    You don't need any chemical. Just the carbon block scrubbing, squarely - never scrub circle wise - and oil. Cut the chemical step altogether. Use liquid oil instead. Faster, cheaper, no fumes, safer! Use a squeegee for large grills. Start by scrubbing the corners and edges with a small piece of carbon block saved from previous cleans. The rest is OK, although I would turn off the grill before starting. It should remain hot enough for the cleaning operation, which takes 5 minutes and 1 person, not 10 and 2 people.

    • @RVingTheCountry

      Musicians Kitchen The high temp grill cleaner you are referring to being sprinkled over the bacon, although never coming in contact with any food, is technically a food grade product. Making it safe to be around ready to eat food and not a threat to ones health. Yes, it would not taste good! But nonetheless... still safe.

We've tried olive oil, crisco, vegetable oil, coconut. try to maintain a temp of 350 - 400 when cooking nothing. Are we seasoning this wrong is there a special way to season it? how hot do you let the griddle get when seasoning? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do you have a video explaining how long it take to fully season a griddle? thanks

    • @DougPreston
      @DougPreston  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      They make specific rust agents that remove rust. Outside of that you will need to get a paint chipper and just go to town. I have brought grills/ovens completely back to life after being completely caked on with rust with just a couple hard days of serious elbow grease and a lot of soaking in product. You could probably find some pretty serious chemicals with a simple google search. Obviously, just make sure to give it a serious wash/cleaning up before any food contact!

    • @elenamartinez3870
      @elenamartinez3870 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lily Rose safe temp is around 140-170 for griddle surface, sometimes the steam and other liquids may splash up on your hands,arms if not wearing sleeves or protective kitchen gloves. The liquid solution could be something similar to scotch Brite. Simple vegetable or canola oil is best to use for this method if performed daily. It certainly takes more effort but the outcome is very effective. Chemical cleaners that are safe for kitchenware that makes food contact like scotch Brite is more often used for weekly 'deep' cleaning of all kitchen appliances/equipment. Typically to avoid and reduce likelihood of any food contamination mistakes like we see here.. If inspection was coming up or say the griddle was not well taken care of for some reason and needs to be restored safe to use chemical cleaners could be used
      Normally I'd just go with the warm water first to clean up food residue then after scraping all that off, switch to the oil and brick scrub method. Rinse and repeat, no chemicals needed!

    • @DougPreston
      @DougPreston  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, you will want to clean the grill when it is still hot for a few reasons. First, you want the oil to get nice and hot before you brick the grill so you can pull off everything stuck to the grill and then easily remove all of the carbon left behind from the brick. Also, the grill cleaner we use is a specific HIGH TEMP grill cleaner. Meaning it won't activate unless it reaches a specific temperature. It essentially needs to be at least at 212 so its starts to boil. After it starts to boil on your flat top you can kill the heat and start scrubbing it in. Then you can proceed to start doing some deep cleaning and hit the sides and edges in the well and whatnot. Then just rinse and polish it up with the lemon juice.

      that was the reason for seasoning it at the end with a light coating of cooking spray

    • @DougPreston
      @DougPreston  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, we're cooking burgers. They give off enough fat that prevent them from sticking too bad. Also, we kind of want them to stick/SEAR pretty good, so we have a pretty good spatula that gets in between that grill/sear barrier.

      Unnecessary piece of equipment. Run a profitable business, goal #1. Find tools that can do the job that cost $2.00 vs $22.00. Might not seem like a big difference if you just have one establishment, but can add up if you have several establishments that go through 10 squeegee's/year. Thanks for the input, though!

    Hi, so what reason does anyone actually have to make a commercial griddle shiny the next day? Answer is absolutely nothing besides aesthetics over night and 15 minutes into its usage it looks the same? Not to mention it actually does more harm than good.

    The only reason to clean a com griddle surface if there are items that are sticking, besides that chemicals and griddle bricks are dangerous and have caused more unnecessary burns of any kitchen endeavor. The waste is just rampant, labor and wasted chemicals or vinegar lemon juice etc to make them shiny.
    You would never do any of the above in between every griddled item so why do it at the end of the night?
    Every griddle is made of some compound that is porous and oils tend to bond to fill in the gaps and keep the griddle non-stick for egg users etc. Over cleaning removes those bonds.
    Another thing to mention is that carbon and grease bonds as well making another surface of char on top of that griddle, layer after layer, as long as the griddle is clean from previous debris via a good scraper and a rag ( i recommend a water rinse but it will cool griddle ) no previous flavors or color should be imparted.
    High heat griddles also clean themselves and basically chip off char layers, if this is in mid cooking, not great but griddles react to loss of heat. Slow times will make a griddle much hotter if its heat isn't being dispersed into our food.
    The only recommendation to clean a griddle is to crank the heat for 15 minutes if your griddle doesn't get hot enough use some sheet pans during closing to cover it, then use a scraper to remove debris. with a water rinse. This should keep it non stick.
    If i haven't made it clear a sharp scraper & unbent 1 is your best friend.

    Why don't he just use degreaser after bricking

    • @johnanders8861
      @johnanders8861 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      fetusflipper Scotch Brite quick clean high temperature activated flat grill cleaner is food safe, non toxic, does not leave residue like regular non food safe degreaser, and does not put degreaser fumes into the grill, hood filters, exhaust fan, or hood ducting like a degreaser would. A degreaser will break down grease but will release it back into the air to clog the hood fan and filters, the Scotch Brite uses alkaline to dissolve the grease and keep it liquid to drain into the oil tray

I mean thats something I would do if I was preparing the flat top to be sold.. but you dont want to put that coat on there everyday lol the first people to come in are literally eating all that crap he just sprayed on there.. and even though the grill cleaners are all "food service" chemicals its not good to eat xD

  • @wolfgangricky
    @wolfgangricky 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is one of the MOST disgusting ways i have ever seen a flat top bricked. Never use chemicals, always go with the grain in bricking, never against it. Yes Grills have grains just like wood. Then you need to remove all debris from the grill brick before steaming it clean, or it causes a sticky residue that goes into your customers next meal Then when buffing the grill you don't use another chemical to final clean. That is just GROSS & i feel sorry for your customers to eat chemicals for dinner.
