3M Scotch-Brite Griddle Cleaning, Quick Clean System, Heavy Duty, Cleans in 3-5 Minutes, For Baked On Food and Cooking Oils, Use on Hot or Cool Griddle, Orange, (1 System)

Works like the video shows

I've tried many different products and methods to clean my griddle but nothing else has worked as well and as easily as this kit - the griddle looks like new! It takes everything off. Just follow the included (laminated) directions. A couple of notes: The directions say to heat the griddle to 300 - 350 degrees and I use an infrared gun to make sure I'm in this range - the liquid is fairly thick right out of the package but thins and cleans nicely at this temperature. The packages have a "starter" tear slit on one corner to make opening easier. After using the scrubbing pad and squeegee, you can soak them in warm soapy water and the black goo washes right off. The initial investment may seem a little high but the scrubbing pads last a long time and the refill liquid is reasonably priced for the time and effort it saves.

The stainless grill in the kitchen of our Church had not been cleaned for years. There was thick coat of burnt/varnished/food in the middle that we couldn’t get off, so we cooked on the sides and didn’t use the middle. I purchased this kit hoping to finally get the entire griddle clean and usable again. The instructions said for heavily soiled surfaces you may need to clean it more than once. I did have to use multiple packets, but in the end the whole surface looks evenly clean, no more gunk in the middle! Some tips – Make sure the temperature of the griddle is hot (300-350F – 350F is the max for the pads, so I tried to hit around 310-320F) BUT NOT TOO HOT. As you can see in some of the reviews here, if you let the surface get too hot then you will get bad results. How can you tell the temperature of your griddle? DON’T RELY ON THE TEMPERATURE KNOBS ON YOUR GRILL. You really need use a flat surface/grill surface temperature probe. The infrared things are only close, and you really can’t trust the knobs on the griddle, so if you’re going to use this product you need to invest in a surface temperature thermometer. After cleaning, I wiped the surface with a wet rag, used a pumice block to finish things off, then then re-seasoned the surface. I'll be trying out the whole griddle this weekend! 2/14/20 Update: I’ve used this system a number of times now, and it’s still great. When I clean the griddle I have a number of people watch to see how well it cleans. Last week someone stopped by after I cleaned it and asked how it got so clean (they never saw it that clean before). Again, the temperature is very important. If your griddle is about 400 or hotter then the pad will start to melt and disintegrate. Read some of the reviews of from others where their pad and squeegee melted – their griddle was way too hot. You have to accurately check the temperature of your griddle. How do you know how hot your griddle is? Don’t trust the knobs! To get 320F on my griddle I had to set the three burners knobs to 110F, off, and 220F. You need to use a good surface thermometer. Don’t use an infrared thermometer. Mine was off by 100F! So, get a good surface temperature probe, measure all around it until you get all spots in a range of 320-340F, then apply the use the product and get a great looking griddle.

I used this product on a flattop grill for a restaurant that hadn't been properly cleaned in ages. It took about 3 applications but the result was amazing! I read several of the reviews for this product and it definitely helped to ensure I was doing it right. Make sure the grill is at an even temperature between 300 - 350 degrees, ensure the area is well ventilated and wipe down thoroughly with water/rags when the surface has cooled. I also wore my covid mask because the harsh chemical smell during the application was powerful. This product was very easy to use and lived up the expectations.

This worked surprisingly well. It had a slight odor but wasn’t bad. The directions are clear and I followed them. I did need to use it twice to get my griddle fully clean but my griddle was very dirty.

I tried a lot of cleaning products and nothing made much of a difference, even with a lot of elbow geese. This product worked amazingly well. There are a few good videos of people cleaning their griddles with it that you can find. Those sold me. I did the whole process twice over, with 2 scrubbers, but it worked well after the first. The fumes were an odd smell. I opened windows and a door to help air it out. Its pricy for a cleaner but worth it for the results.

Before I bought this kit I read a ton of reviews. I have a Blaze stainless steel griddle. I have never cooked on a griddle before, I have never worked in the food and beverage industry either so I was a complete novice when it came to using such a device. I learn fast and here is what I have figured out. One, you need to know your equipment. Two, you need to know the temperature of said equipment. Three know how to use the product correctly. There are many reviews of this product that simply aren't reflective of the product and highlight the fact they don't know how to use it and their own equipment correctly. I assume they are using a laser thermometer in most cases. Alright here is the details. The griddle is 304 stainless steel. You cannot get an accurate temperature from a laser thermometer, the reason is emissivity. This is the measurement of an objects ability to emit infrared energy. A shiny object has a lower emissivity than a black object. Most infrared thermometers are set at 95, 304 stainless is 41-45 You can buy laser thermometers that have adjustable emissivity, which I did from Thermoworks but even then I found that they still won't be accurate because as stainless steel heats up it changes color slightly which then will effect the accuracy of the thermometer. You can change the emissivity as it changes color but I found this wouldn't be very accurate either. Long and short don't use infrared laser thermometers on a griddle. Use a surface thermometer such as the Thermoworks Pro-surface Thermapen. It will accurately tell you the temp of the surface instantly. Changes everything when you know what you're cooking at. Oh, and when you want to use this stuff. With the griddle at the right temperature you can clean the griddle to like new condition in less that 5 minutes. I know they say three but there is a little more clean up than just using this product. It takes care of the majority of the work then I finish with water mixed with a dash of white vinegar and it is spotless. I made a video for my cousin with one hand cleaning it and one operating my phone, showing what this stuff does because he had just installed a griddle in his outdoor kitchen as well and hadn't used it as of yet. I knew from my experiences he would appreciate this stuff. It used to take me about an hour to clean the surface of the griddle to like new before this product. So it is a real game changer, it makes me want to use the griddle so much more now that I don't even think about using the grill very often. If you are going to use a griddle, at least a stainless steel griddle that is, be sure to have this on hand, it will make clean up a snap.

The directions are concise but not necessarily clear. The directions indicate to heat the griddle to 300-350 F degrees but do not indicate that once achieved heat should be killed. My Griddle vents at the top end and the exhaust heat coming out while the burner ran was enough to ignite the glycol (there is a warning in the fine print that it will ignite at 649+ F) in the liquid. The flame was low and not significant enough to cause a real threat, but quite a surprise none the less.
