    good video! and, as a plumber, I thank you for mentioning not washing bacon grease down the drain, especially in an apartment, your downstairs neighbors will thank you too that your dirty water isnt backing up into their sink. I got my griddle yesterday and used it, found out it needed to be seasoned after a bit of oil didnt stop my eggs from sticking. I will add a bit of advice I learned in my studies... I use vegetable oil, having a smoke point of 450. Olive oil varies, on type, quality, between 360 and 468, I have read more people complaining of their season burning off using olive oil. I have also read recommendations of coconut oil, having a 450 smoke point as well. after burning eggs on my griddle, I gave it a good scrape down the best I could, cooked the heck out of it in the Q, scraped the carbonized egg off, and polished some veg oil into the griddle, got the paper towel back black, poured more oil, rubbed it in hot, repeating until the paper towels came back clean with the yellow color of the oil. I let it cool, gave it another good rub, and put it away.

    Man, you definitely take better care of your griddle thank I do. I usually just wipe it down and then run it on super hot for a while. Then another wipe down after it cools again. That said, my Q needs a good spring cleaning, and I'm hoping to get to that this week. Thanks for watching, and yes I agree about the types of oil. I have some grapeseed back in the city, but I'm not in any hurry to get back to NYC right now.

    Have had my Griddle since new, bought as an accessory when I bought my Q. I usually cook the bacon on the grill, and eggs etc. on the griddle ( hot plate ) Found with my family Q it was best to turn the center burner off, the other burner on low, as the eggs would burn on the bottom, before the white was cooked. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with new griddle. Regards, Brian. ( Downunder )

    I've been cooking with, restoring and collecting vintage cast iron for a long time and the surface on this griddle is so rough you can sharpen an axe with it! Yes, season it. But never with olive oil because of it's low flash point and flavor. Warm it up, rub in some vegetable oil (Crisco works just fine and is flavorless), wipe off the excess and cook it just like you did. I would have liked to have seen you cook the bacon without any oil because bacon makes its own grease. The REAL test of any cast iron is can you cook an egg without it sticking with little oil, butter, etc. I plan to test that with mine and if it doesn't work I'll give it a new, smoother surface and a re-seasoning. I'll post the video on my channel. Also, this griddle is listed on the Weber website for the Q1000 only but as you have demonstrated it will fit the Q1200 too. Great channel man!

    First thing I'd do is really scrub it clean. I would then season it again after it's clean (not sure if this is necessary because it's porcelain enamel, but it can't hurt). Always use some kind of oil or fat before adding your food. Also, use a metal spatula that can really get under the food. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

    Why use soap and water on cast iron? Just like pans and pots, you would usually just rinse with hot water and scrape away sticky stuff, and then just re-season. After a while, it should be pretty much non-stick. Soap would remove the seasoning and potentially get inside the pores of the cast iron. Bacon is awesome to add to the seasoning... Also, I get that this was at a lower temperature, but why use olive oil? It has a low smoke point. Not the best oil to use in a grill application. Other than that, great review. That thing is neat.

    Grapeseed oil is considered one of the best oils to use for seasoning metal. The reason is that grapeseed oil creates a stronger coating than say vegetable oil. Olive oil should be avoided for seasoning. You want to use a high temp oil which most olive oils aren't.
