Cooking Grid Cleaning
-
Remove and inspect the cooking grid(s)
- Most grills have either chrome or porcelain coated cooking grids -
If the chrome grid is not excessively rusted, soak in a hot soapy water solution to loosen the cumulated grease
-
Scrub with a steel wool pad or a stiff nylon pad
-
Rinse thoroughly and lightly coat with cooking oil before use
- Porcelain grids may be cleaned in the same manner, special porcelain cleaning brushes are ideal for this job, as they will minimize chipping and other damage -
If you find broken welds, cannot adequately remove rust, or have excessively chipped or missing porcelain, you may opt to replace the cooking grid
