Fall is a great time to get outside on a sunny day and do some clean up! If your grill is anything like mine, it needs some TLC after a lot of summer grilling. I get some old rags and some spray cleaner and wipe down the outside and the knobs well. Then I take out the grates and the "tent-shaped" covers that direct the flames. I scrub all those as best I could. The grates go in the dishwasher to remove grease and really loosen all the grime.
Now my grill is ready to go for another round of great cooking. Tony's been making some killer rubs for racks of ribs lately...more to come...
I just read that if you put the grates in a double garbage bag and put ammonia to cover, allow to sit over night, wala the next day they are clean, or at least that is what the post on Pinterest said. I am going to give it. A shot because we grill all year long. I will let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! That sounds like it will work well. Ammonia is a great grease cutter. I'm also going to try oven cleaner to keep those grates clean. Let me know how it works!
DeleteBe careful with oven cleaner, if your grate is made of aluminum, the grate may corrode
