How to Clean a Blue Rhino Griddle

It’s important to clean a Blue Rhino griddle because it will help keep your food tasting fresh and prevent food from sticking.
To clean your Blue Rhino griddle, you’ll need:

• • A sponge or soft cloth
  • Soap (dishwashing liquid detergent)

For example, I’ve been putting together content on how to clean different griddles lately, and while many of them are similar, there are certain things that various manufacturers suggest for their different griddles.

Because of this, I believe it’s critical to write several articles on different subjects so that you may obtain personalized advise. And now it’s Blue Rhino’s turn.

So, if you’ve ever been wondering how to clean a Blue Rhino griddle, you’ve come to the perfect spot.

Today, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about cleaning your Blue Rhino griddle, from daily usage to deep cleans, and in place of tradition, I’ll start with my deep clean recommendations first.

So, if you don’t mind my saying so, you’re going to have a very unpleasant surprise when you try and clean it without taking the time to properly prepare it first. Let’s get this party started.

How To Deep Clean A Blue Rhino Griddle

Let’s begin with cleaning your Blue Rhino griddle thoroughly. If you’ve had it for a while, there’s a good chance you’ll need to clean it again before putting it back in storage for the next season of grilling.

You may also re-season your griddle by cleaning it thoroughly, as I’ll explain in this article.

So, if you want to return your old Blue Rhino griddle to its original condition, follow the steps below:

• Preheat the griddle and leave it for 10-15 minutes to warm up; this will loosen any debris that has gathered.
• Turn the heat down to a lower setting, and keep it warm but not too hot to touch.
• Scrape any of the old debris off the griddle with a metal spatula.
• To remove the old seasoning, use a griddle brick and some water.
• Add more water as needed, but only a little at a time, and wait until the first lot of water has evaporated before adding any more to the griddle to minimize warping.
• You may also utilize a lighter, more flexible scrubber to clean the griddle’s corners and sides after each usage.
• Remove the water and dirt with a clean, lint-free towel or paper towels.
• Add a little oil to season (other oils may also be used; and while everyone in the grilling community has their own preference, most prefer vegetable or olive oil).
• Use a second clean towel or additional paper towels to evenly distribute the oil.
• Increase the heat to high.
• Wait for the oil to burn off (after it has ceased smoking) and then repeat the process three times, for a total of four applications.

The Blue Rhino griddle should be cleaned in such a manner that it may be used all summer without causing the user to have to replace it.

A simple rub of salt and pepper on your griddle before cooking will make it non-stick, so you won’t have to spend hours cleaning it after every use.

If you’ve recently purchased a Blue Rhino griddle, go to the sections above about cleaning it and removing old debris and seasoning, as well as the suggestions for using oil to season your griddle.

We recommend that you season your Blue Rhino completely new, as it will require seasoning in order for the griddle to look and function properly throughout the grilling season ahead.

But there’s still one more step that you’ll need to complete before your griddle is truly ready to use again: cleaning and re-seasoning (or seasoning for the first time) it.

However, the secret to long-lasting success is regularly cleaning and seasoning your barbecue so that it’s ready for another use. I’ll go through this in more detail in the section below.

How to Clean a Blue Rhino Griddle After Each Use

OK, so you just cooked your first meal on your griddle after cleaning and re-seasoning it to perfection, but now what?

So, now that you know a little bit about kitchen appliances and how they can make your everyday cooking life easier, let’s look at the easiest way to keep yours in tip-top shape all year long. Here’s what you need to do:

• After use, turn off the griddle and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes.
• The surface should be warm enough to remove stubborn food or hardened grease, but not too hot.
• Take a metal scraper/spatula and carefully remove any debris or grease from the device, then push it into the drip tray at the front or rear of your model.
• Pour a little bit of warm water on top.
• Use paper towels to mop up any extra grease, food, or debris and send it back down into the drip tray.
• After that, make sure the surface is completely dry.
• Add a little more of your preferred cooking oil, then spread it with paper towels.
• Test the griddle by putting a little oil or non-perishable cooking spray on it; then place bread on it to see if there is enough of a coating.
• It’ll act as a barrier against moisture until you use it again, and it’ll re-season while you cook on your griddle.
• Remove the drip tray from the griddle and wash it in hot soapy water.
• The drip tray is the only component of the griddle that requires soap to keep it clean, as soap can destroy seasoning on a griddle’s surface, which you don’t want to do since it might reduce the non-stick quality of the surface and look good.

These easy methods will take only a few minutes, but they’ll save you the hassle of having to clean your grill after each use.

If you don’t follow through with the listed procedures after each usage, you may use the deep clean method.

It’ll come to your rescue if things go wrong, but the procedures above are really simple that there’s no reason you can’t clean your Blue Rhino grills quickly after using it.

Remember, a griddle is a major investment, so take good care of it and you’ll have a dependable griddle for many more years.

Cleaning the Griddle

• Remove food residue. Use a scraper to remove any stuck-on food and grease from your grill griddle. If there are any stubborn spots, try scrubbing them off with soap and water.
• Wipe down the griddle with hot soapy water or baking soda as an abrasive cleaner. You can also use a scouring pad or steel wool to remove stubborn stains from your Blue Rhino Griddle if you have one handy!

Stubborn Stains

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to clean your griddle, try using baking soda and vinegar. This simple cleaning solution will work great on most stains, but if the stain is really stubborn, try using commercial kitchen cleaners instead.

Cleaning Tips

• Wear gloves.
• Be gentle, as griddles are made of glass and can easily be broken.

Propane Griddle Cleaning

To clean your propane griddle, follow these steps:

1. 1. Turn the gas tank valve to “CLOSED” and control knob to “OFF.” Disconnect the gas tank valve from the grill.
   2. Remove any debris from around the burner, including any clogs or foreign objects that may be blocking air flow through vents in the burners (this can cause uneven heating). If necessary, use a grill brush to remove stuck-on food particles from inside venturis (the metal tubes on top of each burner) before proceeding with cleaning steps 3 through 6 below).
      3 – 5 Clean all surfaces thoroughly with hot soapy water or another dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water; rinse well after washing each section thoroughly with clean water until no suds remain on surface being cleaned (this will prevent future rusting). For stubborn stains like grease buildup use an abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend Powder Cleanser & Polish which contains oxalic acid crystals that help remove hard water stains without damaging stainless steel surfaces while leaving them shiny & streak free!

Conclusion

The Blue Rhino griddle is a great addition to your kitchen. It’s versatile, durable and easy to use. However, it can get dirty over time if you don’t take proper care of it.
If you want your griddle to last longer and look good while doing so, then follow these simple cleaning tips:

• Clean the cooking surface regularly with a sponge or cloth soaked in hot water and soap.
• Wash the grease tray after each use by hand or put it in the dishwasher (on top rack) if needed!
