How to clean the cast iron grid?
Date: 2007/07/02 22:04 By: Broc in Council Bluffs Status: Visitor  
 
I enjoy using the cast iron grid on my Medium -- but cleaning it is a royal pain. I got a wire brushie with a handle... which gets about 80% of the goo off. But -- that last 20%!

I've seen scrapers for the ceramic grid -- but what's out there to use on the cast iron?

I just get it good and hot and hit it with the brush. -RP

AZRP,
I saw an item last night on HGTV called the Grill Floss although made for a Stainless steel grill the idea is to clean both the top and bottom of a rounded grill grate. Would this work just as well?

Wood Chuck,
I think the cast is to rough for that tool. -RP

Just let it get hot for a few minutes. 600 deg for 10 to 20 min. then shut down should do it. No more or the gasket could be in trouble.

When I bought my Egg the dealer told me that he never cleaned his grid as it left cook flavor for future cooks and good grill marks on the meat. I occasionally use my ash tool to knock debris off though.

Broc in Council Bluffs,
Morning. All cooking cast iron should be seasoned which should make cleaning easier. I don't know if those grids come pre-seasoned but a wire brush will take off most of the seasoning which will compound your problem next cook.
No soap either. That doesn't leave much but elbow grease and cursing. Good luck.

Man - I thought that last 20% was called flavoring.
