How to Easily Clean Grill Grates-No Chemicals Required!

Easy Grill Cleaning

Hot grill grates are much easier to clean than cool ones, but how do you do this without scrubbed charred food off your grill with a brush?

The next time you need to clean your grill, skip the expensive cleaners and reach for a newspaper instead. Immediately after grilling, remove the hot grill grates (using pliers) and wrap them in old newspapers that have been soaked thoroughly with water...keep the grates wrapped for 15 minutes. The resulting trapped steam loosens burned-on foods, which can then be easily scrapped off.
