Grilling is a joy, but less cleaning. But in the care of the grill, we often repeat unnecessary mistakes that are more harmful to him. Look at the six most common and avoid them. It’s not hard.
1. A wire brush is not the best tool
It is a classic helper, but a wire brush can also pose a health risk. Metal bristles are easy to relax and end up on a grate or even in food. A single forgotten wire is enough and there is a risk of injury. Safe are brushes with thick stainless steel spirals, but the wire brush has everyone and works.
So if you do not want to get rid of the brush, rub or wipe all surfaces with a broom or cloth to make sure that the small fragment of the metal will not end in someone’s bowels.
2. Cleaning up to cold
The habit is to wait for the grill to cool completely. But the grease is grabbed on the cold surface and clears much worse. The best time is when the grate is still lukewarm. It must be cool enough not to burn, but still warm to make everything easy to go down.

3. Too aggressive cleaning agents
Strong degreasers act quickly, but also disrupt the surface of the grill and can leave chemical residues. They then end the next barbecue exactly where you do not want them, even in food. Warm water is enough ,. Home remedies clean gently and without risk.
4. Forgoted tray on fat
Under the grate is a small tray for dripping fat. If you leave it full, it starts to smell, attract insects and even ignite. At the same time, cleaning is a few minutes. Remember that!
5. Do you cool the grill with water?
Quick cooling with a hose looks like a good idea, but the result is a cloud of hot steam and cracked metal or stone. Such shocks destroy the material for a long time. Always allow the grill to cool, preferably with an open lid to cool gradually and safely.
6. Do you leave the remains of the ash in the grill?
After grilling on charcoal, the ash remains, which is often left to the next time. But the ash sucks moisture, and thanks to this, the interior of the grill begins to corrode. Just pour it out and clean the lower grate after cooling to make the grill function flawlessly.
