Grilling on Porcelain Coated Grates
Warm summer nights are created for cooking outside on the grill. There is no point in cooking food while you are spending a fortune to cool down your house with air conditioning. Sit outside with a cool drink and let the grill do its work. That is, if it can. A grill needs to be maintained regularly to produce delicious and well-cooked foods. Cleaning the porcelain-coated grates is one of the essential routines of grilling.
Instructions
1. Pick a time the day before you want to grill to work on getting your grill cleaned up. Lay out some newspaper, about four sheets thick, and place your dirty porcelain-covered grills on it. Put on your rubber gloves and spray on an even coating of oven cleaner to one side, then flip them over and spray the other side in the same way.
2. Allow the oven cleaner to work overnight, but make sure the dirty grates are out of the reach of pets and children. The oven cleaner is caustic and can cause nasty burns if not rinsed off immediately.
3. Pick up the porcelain-covered grates and rinse them down in the morning with a generous amount of water. Carefully ball up the newspaper and put it in the garbage. Your grills should be nice and clean.
4. Scrub any stubborn areas with fine steel wool and dish detergent in warm water. Rinse again and wipe dry. The grates should now be spotless. Spray them with vegetable oil non-stick spray and rub it in with a paper towel.
5. Heat your grill with the newly cleaned porcelain covered grates to about 400 degrees F and let it burn off any soap residue. Cool it back down to 350 degrees and spray lightly with the non-stick spray. Your grill is now ready for stress-free and non-stick cooking.
6. Remove the cooked food and give the grates a good scraping with the wire brush to remove any foods while it is still hot. Wipe it down with a rag and a little vegetable oil after it has cooled down to about 200 degrees or less and it will be ready for the next time.
