Spring and early summer are a great time to grill. Make sure your succulent steaks or killer kabobs come from a well-maintained grill by following these easy tips:
- Remove the grates and clean both sides with hot, soapy water.
- Remove and clean the metal barriers over the burners and below the grates to remove drippings, grease, and other debris.
- Brush the inside of the grill. Loosen and dispose of any debris. Remove stubborn stains with a steel wool pad.
- Turn on the burners and check the flame with the grates and barriers removed. If needed, turn off the burners and clean them with a pipe cleaner to remove any blockages that may prevent even flame distribution.
- Clean out or replace the drip pan.
- Wipe down the exterior of the grill.
- Replace each part and let smoke burn off any residue on high heat for 10 minutes (or until the smoke clears) before using the grill again.
Now that your grill is clean its ready to cook some delicious food. Check out these great grilling recipes.
