Burgers - mimicking a seasoned grill?

[mskerr]

Being both a burger-lover and a hopeful-future food business owner, I'm curious not only how to get a properly seasoned grill over time, but also how to mimic one in the meantime. Frying up a bunch of onions before making burgers maybe? Not sure, but looking forward to ideas!

Bacon fat

Yes, bacon fat with onions is often the seasoning before I cook with cast iron... So, in a business setting, fry up a bunch of bacon first thing, then cook onions in it, then burgers?

And, how do you clean the grill without stripping it of the seasoning?

Cheers!

Just scrape. Don't do anything else.

Smoked Sea Salt would help.
