To clean the grates of your grill, you can use two different methods. You can burn your grill up to 10 minutes after cooking on it, and then brush with proper grill brush. The other option would be to preheat your grill for 10-15 minutes, then brush your grill grates. The advantage of burning your grill after cooking is having the grill clean and ready to go next time you grill. Always lubricate your cold grill grates with Pam Grill Spray. This will help your food not to stick to the grates. There are different grill brushes for different types of grates. Be sure to ask which the proper brush for your grill is! (Silver for stainless and red for everything else.)
Putting the Oil-Dri under your drip pan will absorb any and all grease dripping from cooked foods. This will help in the ease of cleaning up your drip pan. Using products like kitty litter will affect the flavor of cooked foods due to the scent, and sand will be harder to clean up in the long run.
Using a cleaner and polisher for the outside of your stainless steel grill will prolong the shine of the grill. It will help in removing fingerprints, water spots, streaks, and grease marks. Be sure to wipe stainless with the grain of the steel, buff with clean dry cloth afterwards.
Stainless steel must be cleaned to keep it looking beautiful and to maintain its ability to resist corrosion. The beautiful surface of Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with the chromium in the stainless steel to form this passive chromium oxide film that protects the Stainless steel surface from further corrosion. When the surface is contaminated by dirt, sand, or other materials, this passivation process is hindered and corrosive agents are trapped, allowing corrosion to occur.
Some form of routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface. Stainless steel is easily cleaned by many different methods. The surface will actually thrive with frequent cleaning. Unlike some other materials, it is impossible to “wear out” stainless steel by excessive cleaning.
And finally always keep your grill protected with a grill cover when not in use to help extend its good looks from the elements.
