Title: Big easy srg grate cleaning
Post by: drvrbob on August 05, 2016, 03:21:56 PM
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the best way to clean this porcelain grill grate after cooking. I do run the grill on high for 15 to 20 minutes after cooking till it stops smoking but I was wondering how to get the residue off the grate without damaging it?

Although I don't own the newer version grate I would say you can soak it in vinegar then scrub clean with a nylon brush

Not sure about the porcelain but usually nasty grates need an overnight soak in hot soapy water or a few hours in ammonia before scrubbing.

Your self cleaning oven will work but expect a lot of smoke if really dirty. Have all the windows open.

Or place in your gas grill all burners on high with hood down for like an hour.

I just use my wire brush after running it on high for 15 minutes. Works for me  :)

Thanks for the advice, I just wasnt sure about the porcelain coating and did not want to do anything to damage it.

This does work. And you don't need much. Just a cup full, and seal up in a garbage bag. I think it is the fumes and not the liquid that does it

All I do with my porcelain grate is let it cook for 15-20 minutes while I pre heat the SRG, then I take the flat metal scraper on the grate brush and break up the top crustys then use the wire brush to clean the grooves.

Tommy is the old version like my three year old Big easy grate?
