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)

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.

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'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.

This is two hour project minimum. The directions are great, it has everything you need, and the result is spectacular, my griddle look almost new. BUT the cleaning solution feels somewhat toxic. Maximize your VENTILATION. Wear a mask. Wear gloves. Wear glasses. The clean-up is somewhat gnarly also. If you have a removable grease trap, WRAP IT IN TIN FOIL before you heat up your griddle! You can just remove the tin foil and dispose of it when finished. I used this on a Wolf range griddle. I left the spent cleaning solution in the grease trap over night (to cool), and it was more like sap than a liquid in the morning. Even after heating, it was very difficult to remove. I may replace the grease trap. Between the corrosion of the fluid and a nylon scrubber (to remove it), I damaged the black finish. Hope that helps somebody!

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.

nice

The 3M detergent is very effective with the grease The rubber scraper is so so

Super good product to clean a griddle . So easy to use :)

works like a charm but be prepared for goopy black stuff from griddle. It works well.
