I use a very light olive oil or coconut oil. Make sure the brand used has no salt or you will have rust.
The flat side is great for pancakes, Texas toast, English muffins, grilled cheese sandwiches, seared vegetables, etc. We also use our Lodge griddle in the motorhome oven to create even temps. The oven is where we store it.
To remove the heavy food crusting I use a cast iron chainmail scrubber.
IMHO cast iron ware is the best for camp cooking. :c
Wow, thanks for the tip about the chainmail scrubber. I hadn't been aware of them, and it sounds like the perfect tool for cleaning.

It's the best tool I've found for cleaning up my cast iron, especially the ribbed side of the griddle. It's flexible enough to slide into the grooves and it cleans it up in a jiff.
