I've got two pans, a cheapo Dutch oven, and one large griddle. The pans are fine, I use them all the time with very good results. But the griddle has so much built up stuff on it that it is no longer flat, won't hold a non-stick surface, and looks bad. There is no rust. I think it's just that I was doing the seasoning slightly wrong for a few years, then got it right with the pans later on.
So I've been boiling water in it for about five hours now, and only a small portion of the gunk has come off. I'd like to strip it completely and start over. But I can't get this stuff off. I've been scraping with a blade, and scrubbing with salt, steel mesh, and with soap, and now the boiling. Nothing is getting this stuff off.
Any ideas?
