Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Peanut oil
Oven cleaner
Brass-wire bristle brush

Step1

Wipe dirt and grime off the hood before you cook. Otherwise you wind up with baked, hard dirt that takes more elbow grease to remove.

Step2

Spray the grates of your gas grill with peanut oil before turning on the heat. The oil will make it easier to wipe the grill clean afterwards.

Step3

Heat the grill on high for 5 to 10 minutes to char any bits of food left on the grate. Then scrape it off with a brass-wire bristle brush.

Step4

Turn off the gas flame and spray the grill with oven cleaner. Leave it on as long as the directions on the can recommend, then wipe the grill clean. This removes tougher stains.

Step5

Cover the grids with heavy duty aluminium foil, then turn up the heat for 10 minutes. This turns dirt and food to ash you can brush off once the grids cool.
