Rusty BBQ grille. Can't seem to stop it
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.
My BBQ grille is the usual cast iron. It was nice when new, had a dark coating on it.
But after a couple uses and me cleaning it, it gets rusty on the surface. I am very anal about keeping it clean after and before use. I run it full blast after cooking until the meat residue is burnt and I can wire brush it off. I always clean it very thoroughly. The next time I go to use it, its rusty again and I have to really scrub it hard and then liberally rub olive oil all over the rusty surface, heat it, wipe it so I can cook my steaks or whatever.
It bothers me having a rusty surface and it's a lot of work to keep it clean. But I don't like to leave a greasy mess to cook on the next time around.
What am I doing wrong here?
