Hot Grates

By Michelle K Patterson

We frequently start our day with a cup of coffee, to keep us awake for our activities the entire day. But cleaning the grill with a cup of coffee? Is it even possible?

It seems unbelievable, however coffee can really make easier cleaning for your barbecue grill. Because coffee is naturally acidic, it works really wonderful for cleaning grease and the process is simply as basic as any grill cleaning approach can be: Prepare your coffee in a pot, put it into a washbasin and soak your grill grates. (Same goes for barbecue utensils or oven burners.) Leave it there for almost one hour. Scrub it, then lastly rinse with warm water. Your grate is now as great as brand name brand-new. Instead of squandering your unused pot of coffee, why not utilize it for cleaning your grates? Nonetheless, if you really don`t like coffee then you can still clean a grill with an onion or a little aluminum foil.

Food and grease fragments can rust even the extremely finest quality stainless-steel given adequate time. This is typically a trouble as we have a tendency to utilize a lot of acidic marinades and sauces on the grill. These can destroy your grill in spite of how much you invested on that. If ever you can see some grease burnt on your barbecue grill, you’ll generally need to spend time dramatically scrubbing it with steel wool to remove that grease. Cleansing your barbecue grill with a stainless-steel grill brush with each use can stop you from wishing to make use of the coffee cleaning technique.

For an incredibly sensible clean, spray the barbecue grill with your usual kitchen appliance cleaner and leave it in a plastic garbage bag the entire evening. Wash it the next day, and you will have a shining grill that you can utilize once again.

Now that you know how to clean your propane grill utilizing coffee grinds, it’s time to think outside the box. There are sufficient other types of acidic meals that you can use to cheaply and efficiently clean your grill. Cleansing your grill with onions is a best example. Anytime you have the chance to clean your grill utilizing a natural meals item, it is way much better than utilizing cleaning items. The reason is because cleaning items have chemicals in them that even after you are done utilizing them, will remain on your grill grates. The chemicals will get on your meals rather of burning off prior to grilling if you forget to preheat your grill.
