i've tried to keep my grate oiled and generally clean. but no matter what i do it gets bad and i have to really go for major cleaning. the cast iron is said to be porcelain covered but its really hard to tell. so if the ci is not raw ci it doesn't soak up the oil to become non stick. it seems the porcelain coating really like to stick. no matter what i try, after several uses its just bad. also it gets really bad if you cook some meat that has some marinade on it. just turns into a reallt sticky gooy mess. i just tried to burn it off but now i got a thick layer of really hard carbon. anyone got some ifeas for fixing this and maybe cooking ideas to prevent this otherwise ? i have tried both veggie oil and pam. nothing seems to work. its now the second time i've had to attack the grates with oven cleaner and i don't use this hardly at all. thanks,
