This keeps the hot plate oiled and protected from rust. It\u2019s a messy solution, but it works.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With a Flare Outdoor Fire, there\u2019s no lid, and even if you have a chimney cap, some water will still get in the fire and rust the cast iron hot plate if it\u2019s left in the fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I prefer not cooking on a rusty pan, I\u2019m also cooking a wide range of foods, and prefer having a fresh pan to cook on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The good news is, cleaning a cast iron pan is really simple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All you need is a garden hose, dishwashing liquid and a steel pot scrubber.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hose the hot plate, squirt on some dishwashing liquid and scrub. Repeat if needed, leave to dry and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you do this after you cook and you want to store the pan without it re-rusting, simply rub in some cooking oil. This preserves the pan and creates a non stick surface over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e7bc4716e0e\" data-id=\"69e7bc4716e0e\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do you hate cooking on a rusty cast iron hot plate?
