| 3948.1 | we don't clean ours. ever. | PERLE::glantz | Mike, Paris Research Lab, 776-2836 | Mon Jun 20 1994 11:24 | 4 |
| Are you concerned that it look attractive, or just that it be safe to
cook on? If the latter, I find that the heat from the charcoal, before
it's cooled enough to cook with, is more than hot enough to burn off
anything you might be worried about.

| 3948.2 | It worked well for me... | MROA::MAHONEY | | Mon Jun 20 1994 11:59 | 13 |
| yes, I have used Easy Off with good results. Place the grill over old
newspapers after having been scrubbed with wire brush and spray
Easy-off and let it "work" for as long as possible (a day would be
fine, then spray with water and use the wire brush again...
mine came out beautiful. If the grill in question is extremelly dirty
it you might need to repeat the operation and use Easy-off several
times, it will depend of the grease/dirt adhered to grill, but one
operation is enough for most times and that does not require much
"elbow work"
I hope this helps. Ana

| 3948.3 | Easy-off works great! | TPSYS::HILBERT | | Mon Jun 20 1994 14:08 | 8 |
| Hello,
I have used easy-off oven cleaner on my grill and it worked fantastic.
I just sprayed it on the rack and whatever else that you need to clean
on your grill and let it sit over night and hose off or wipe it down.

| 3948.4 | Fast, non-chemical method | LIOS01::BARNES | | Thu Jun 23 1994 16:10 | 19 |
| One of the fastest ways to clean your grill is with a piece of
aluminum foil.
With the grill set on high (gas grill) or when the coals are at their
hottest place a sheet of aluminum foil shiny side down on the grill.
Weight it down with a few small rocks to hold the foil close to the
grill and if the grill has a lid close it.
It will produce a lot of smoke but in a few minutes the intense
reflected heat turns grease deposits to a white ash that can be easily
removed with a brush or a scrap of old toweling. I like this technique
because it doesn't use chemical agents, require a lot of scrubbing etc.
The technique is akin to that of a self cleaning oven which uses high
heat to incinerate grease deposits.
The only negative is that the grill is so clean that food tends to
stick to it until it gets seasoned again.

Thank-you all for your help. I will certainly have the
cleanest grill in the neighborhood. Now, if only I could
cook !

| 3948.6 | Self cleaning ovens DO work... | CDROM::SHIPLEY | Smmeeeeegggg Heeeeeeeeead | Fri Jul 01 1994 12:42 | 11 |

FYI, my grill is the porcelain coated type and I was a bit wary
of using a wire brush type cleaning, so I put the racks in my
self cleaning oven during the next oven-clean session and just
wiped of the small white ash residue left at the end. Minimum
effort, and cost effective too...8^)}...

| 3948.7 | PAM SPRAY | CTOAVX::EAST | | Thu Aug 04 1994 14:27 | 4 |
| In regards to note .4 - Food sticking to the grill after it is clean...
Try spraying the grill with non-stick spray like PAM. It helps.
