How To Clean A BBQ?
After you finish grilling, it's time to clean up. To make the job easier, heat up your grill for a few minutes to burn off excess oil and food bits. Scrape the grill using a wire brush or a scraper. This will make it easier to remove any remaining bits of food or grease that have stuck to the grill.
Take off the drip tray below your BBQ grill. Scrape off any accumulated fat, grease, and other drippings with your scraper. Put the mess into an aluminum drip tray for easy disposal. After the drip tray is clean, you can wipe it down with BBQ wipes or paper towels to soak up excess oil. If the drippings won’t come off with the scraper and elbow grease, you can soak the drip tray in hot water.
Once you have cleaned your drip tray, line it with aluminum foil and sprinkle some fat-sorb on top. Fat-sorb absorbs fats, oils, and liquids that fall through the grill plates. This helps to prevent flare-ups and odors.
How to clean a rusty BBQ?
When it comes to preventing barbecue rust, there’s no better method than using a clean, dry cloth and a good cover. But what if your grill has already started to rust? Thankfully, there are several ways to solve this problem.
This is the step where you clean the surface of your grill. Start by brushing any dirt and rust away, but don’t use a rough brush. Next, fill a tub with warm water and dish soap. Dip a cloth in the soapy water, then use it to clean your grill. Be sure to focus on rusty areas. Repeat until there is no more rust. Finally, wipe down your grill with a clean microfiber cloth to remove any soap residue and moisture.
If you have rust on your grill, this is the recipe to get it off. Put equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe it down with a microfiber cloth. Repeat until the rust is gone.
