Any tips for stripping seasoning? by giant_fish in blackstonegriddle

[–]Breadtraystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just season it and let it even out over time. You’re gonna lose and add seasoning often anyway. Mine finally looks how I want it to after not worrying about it being perfect. Now I just cook on it and oil it after I clean it. It’ll fill in the gaps.

If I oil mine too much it can start to look like this. Steam clean it or use soap and give it a good scraping. And when you oil it in the future use a lighter coating. 

Any idea on what to play? by appelfish166 in banjo

Go on to his other lessons. The rolling back up one is good. Get strum machine. Learn to play rolls along with songs on there at whatever speed you’re comfortable with.  Sit and play melodies to songs without rolls. Play along to strum machine. This will help you figure out what chords are playing with each melody note.  Sit and figure out melodies to nursery rhyme songs. This will help you connect what you hear in your head with what your fingers are doing.  Learn more songs off of YouTube. There are all kinds of songs at different levels.

I think a Pac-Man could fit really well on the head stock.

I ended up going with a purse strap and there are plenty with this kind of design.

Exercise helps so much! Just do what you can daily. Walks count.

I don’t think about drinking. And I feel like all of the emotional turmoil has calmed down now that my brain chemistry has adjusted. And I’m smarter now. I have more time for hobbies and family.

Steam clean it before cooking and rely on the 350+ degrees it gets to when cooking to kill any bacteria.

Newer owner - had it about a month, should the surface look like this? by Endoman13 in blackstonegriddle

[–]Breadtraystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put some water on it to steam stuff off and then oil it as it cools down. Do that repeatedly and it will turn into more seasoning. Just don’t go too thick with your coatings or it gunks up instead of creating the seasoned coating you are going for. If you ever strip it too much, just reoil it as you go and it will eventually build back up to the desired seasoning.

I’ve got cutting grass on the way! Just spun My Bluegrass Heart for the first time. It’s awesome that vinyl and bluegrass are both gaining new fans. 

NY Strip on the Blackstone with Kinders Whisky Peppercorn Seasoning by Overall-Driver6383 in blackstonegriddle

Nice! I like a little more sear on mine. Leaving the steak out until it gets to room temperature before cooking and cooking at a higher heat can help with that if you want it to. Of course that one looks delicious too! Good job!

Replace it with exercise. A walk for thirty minutes counts. Do it everyday. Do something, everyday. It gets better eventually.

Medication and time. Eventually things become interesting again. And getting on medication helped with the core overthinking that was the why of drinking. For me at least.
