Curtida

Curtida

Se trata de una parrilla con 70 años de antiguedad. "Seasoned" expresa el hecho de que sea tan antigua y, por lo tanto, "curtida" con el tiempo (que ha mejorado con los años, es decir, una parrilla estupenda donde asar un buen bife de chorizo).

Olvidé aclarar que esta es la forma que se usa en España. No estoy seguro si usais "curtido" en Chile. De todas formas, espero que la explicación te dé una idea y encuentres la palabra que usarías en Chile.

agree Noni Gilbert Riley : Yes, seasoned in this case by time rather than by specific action. But it does remain to see if this fits in LatAm

parrilla tratada para darle el sabor/impregnado con el sabor...

Please forgive my explanation in English, but I can give you an idea, and then maybe you can form the final answer. Seasoning is a process used to make certain cooking utensils stick free and flavorful. My mom "seasons" her cast iron skillet after she washes it. She puts oil or some kind of fat in it and puts it in a VERY hot oven or on the stovetop. This makes the oil and carbonized food enter the pores of the skillet. This prevents rust, keeps food from sticking and gives it flavor (as I see I have already said). For a grill, especially one boasting a PHilly cheese state (one of Pennsylvania's many attributes to American cuisine) probably has been treated with fat and has lots of carbonized food on it. This gives it a unique flavor. If I had to give a phrase in Spanish, it would be SOMETHING like- impregnado con el sabor de 70 años (although that may sound a little gross!) or maybe "tratado para darle el sabor que ud. espera" I sure hope this rambling has helped give an idea.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to write, or enter "seasoning cast iron" in google to get some good articles.
Best of luck!

Disculpenme, esta pregunta es para el Sr. Walsh- entonces mi carro, un Mustang modelo 76, un carro que se pone mejor con los años, ¿es curtido?
El chorizo que preparó mi suegra hace 2 meses, sí, pero ¿mi Mustang? ¿Una parrilla?

Sorry, but I don't know what you are trying to show me with that link. I had only asked for a reason why and asked a question. Yes, I believe you that for a person or possibly food, curtido is used. No arguments here. But for objects?
I really don't think this is worth getting worked up over.

agree Taña Dalglish : I agree. Nothing like "well-seasoned" cookware! I still have my Mom's from donkey's years ago! Saludos Marsha.

I prefer Teflon, but I'll never forget the day I left food in the skillet and got a lecture on SEASONING! Everything for a reason, right? Saludos!
agree urst : well done

Thanks, I appreciate that my ranting was not for nothing! I appreciate it!
disagree James A. Walsh : I totally disagree. Una persona curtida en letras es alguien con experiencia, conocimiento... en letras. Una cosa curtida con el tiempo es algo que mejoró con el tiempo y es excelente, como esta parrilla.

Could you tell us why? As far as I know, curtida means an experienced or hardened person or tanned leather

una parrilla templada durante 70 años/ con solera de 70 años

estaría bien que se aportara la frase, el lugar, el tono del texto en el que aparece, el contexto, pero si es literal y no figurativa, pienso que esto podría valer
