efinitely something to consider. I think now that the griddle cover

It still smells a little, but not much. Way less than even a few days
ago and it's not that objectionable. I figure that smell will eventually
go away or I'll stop noticing it...
Thanks for this thread and information! very useful info! I had the same issue applying heat resistant engine paint to cooking pots and pans.
