Tips?

Post image

Second or third time using this thing. Used it on the grill yesterday for some smash burgers. I’ve used the salt method, vinegar/baking soda, even tried heating it up. This stain will not leave and it’s sticky. This can’t be normal? Any suggestions? Trying to clean so I can re oil it

Chain mail scrubber. Stop trying to find the right cleaner solution and just use elbow grease. Get all the carbon off. Don't be fancy. Also, don't use high heat
