Help stopping flash rust after stripping griddle I have a lodge pro griddle/grill that ended up needing a strip and re-season after being left out in the rain.  I went with easy-off followed by a vinegar and water bath to strip and clean the pan.  However, I can't seem to keep the griddle from flash rusting. 

I've tried soaking the griddle in an ice water bath after scrubbing with steel wool. I've tried putting in the oven at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. I've tried just constantly drying it with a towel but that still let it rust. 

Any suggestions?
