4 Easy Tips on
How to Clean an Outdoor Gas Grill
If you have purchased a gas grill lately,
you know that even the less expensive models are not cheap. To
keep your investment looking good and working well, you'll need
to follow through with how to clean an outdoor gas
grill. There are many ways to accomplish this; here are 4
tried and true methods to keeping your barbecue smokin'.
- Use the "burn off" method to rid your grill of food
remnants and sauce residue. After you take the food off the
grates, keep them going for at least 10 minutes at high
heat. This is one method of how to clean an outdoor
gas grill.
- Or go the other direction and immediately after you
take the food off the grill, use your brass brush to clean
any remaining food or sauce off the grates. After the
grates have cooled down, spray them with a non-stick
cooking spray or other spray oil & then spray them
again before cooking the next time.
- For the stainless steel elements of your grill, use a
specialty cleaning agent or any non-abrasive, non-chloride
household cleaning solution. Stainless steel does better
the cleaner it is; its surface is protected from corrosion
by a thin layer of chromium oxide formed by the interaction
of the surface with the air.
- If all else fails and your grill or the grill you
somehow inherited is such a mess you don't think anything
will clean it, there is a last resort: oven cleaner. It is
not a conventional way of how to clean an outdoor
gas grill, but it will clean those grates. Make sure
the area under the grill is protected before you use it and
realize that most grill makers frown on its use, but it is
a method of last resort.
