What's the easiest way to clean outdoor grill grates, anyone?
Easy Grilling Clean-Up Tips Americans say an easy clean up is one of the most pleasurable parts of grilling food outdoorsIn fact, in a recent survey by the Hearth, Patio Barbecue Association (HPBA) a majority (70 percent) responded that the they find “a lot” of pleasure in having few or no pots and pans to clean up when grilling as opposed to indoor cooking To ensure that outdoor grilling clean-up is even easier, HPBA offers the following tips: BEFORE lighting the grill, apply non-stick spray on the gratesThe protective spray cuts down the clean-up time afterwards For charcoal grills, line the bowl with aluminum foilAfter grilling, and once the grill and coals are cool, simply discard the foil with the coals and ash, then wash and reline with foil for next time Use a wire brush or even crumbled aluminum foil to scrub away buildup on the grates once the grill has cooled Squirt grease-cutting dishwashing detergent on grill and grates (once cool)Scrub with brush or abrasive pad, then rinseA repeat may be necessary For tougher jobs, place cool grill grates inside a plastic garbage bag and spray them with oven cleanerTie the bag shut, let it sit outside for a few hoursWearing rubber gloves, place grates on a newspaper and then scrub with abrasive brush or scrub padRinse with waterYou can also spray oven cleaner in the bowl of the grill and, wearing rubber gloves, wipe the residue out using crumpled newspaper Don't forget to place a grill pad or splatter mat beneath your grill before cookingThese naturally heat resistant pads will protect your deck or patio from any grease that misses the drip pan and will make it a lot easier to keep your outdoor living area clean and looking like new.:)
