Finally cracked the code on my flat top after 2 years in the weeds
I work at a diner on Route 66 in New Mexico, and our flat top has always had hot spots that drive me nuts. Last Tuesday during the lunch lull, I decided to actually season it like a cast iron instead of just scraping and oiling. Used a chain mail scrubber to get it bare, then did three thin layers of flaxseed oil with a 15 minute bake between each. The next day, eggs slid around like they were on ice. My line cook asked what I did and I just pointed at the bottle. Has anyone else tried flaxseed oil on a commercial flat top or am I asking for trouble down the road?
