Getting Started

Prepare the Cooking Surfaces

Before using your Parrilla for the first time, it’s important to prepare the cooking surfaces by seasoning them. Start by applying a light coat of oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil, to the surfaces. Use a full kettle of charcoal heat beads underneath to generate heat. Light the heat beads and distribute them evenly under the cooking surface.

Important: Keep the grill plates wound up well above the heat to allow the metal to season gently, you can gradually lower as you continue the process.

As the grill heats, the metal will change colour. During this process, regularly wipe away excess oil and reapply a thin layer. This seasoning process, which can take up to an hour, will create a non-stick surface and protect the metal from rust.

Clean the Cooking Surfaces After Use

After each use, clean the cooking surfaces thoroughly. Use a grill brush or wire brush to remove food residue, followed by wiping down the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap, as it can strip away the seasoning layer.

Apply a Light Coat of Oil After Cleaning

Once the cooking surfaces are clean, apply a thin layer of oil to protect the metal and maintain the seasoning. A light spray of canola oil works well for coating the top, bottom, and any exposed metal parts of the Parrilla.

Store Your Parrilla Properly

To prevent rust, store your Parrilla in a dry location when not in use. If you need to store it outside, use a waterproof cover to shield it from the elements. A standard BBQ cover is sufficient.

Avoid Abrasive Cleaners and Tools

When cleaning your Parrilla, avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can damage the metal and remove the seasoning. Stick to using a grill brush and a damp cloth or microfiber cloth for cleaning.

Maintain Grill Grates and Hot Plates

If your Parrilla includes grill grates or hot plates, clean them thoroughly after each use and coat them with oil. Pay attention to the underside, which faces the fire, as it can accumulate debris over time.

By following these care steps, your mild steel Parrilla will remain in excellent condition and continue to deliver delicious results for years to come.

Enjoy your Parrilla!
