Tips for Keeping Your Grill Clean During Grilling

As advised by the greatest chefs out there, cleaning while cooking is the best tip to keep your kitchen spotless always. The same thing can be used when grilling, and you will surely notice how much time this system saves your time. So take a look at this article to see what's the best way for you to avoid messy cleanup after cooking.

Grilling

Coating your grill grates with a high heat cooking spray is the way to go when you're cooking on a grill. This will help to avoid sticking and remember that less is more when it comes to using oil on your grill. You can also use smaller cuts of meat, trimming away fat and using less oily marinades that have less oil. As you can see this is a great way to cut down on mess when grilling, plus it's much healthier.

Accessories

Grilling accessories are just what you need to make sure your grill is under control, and many of them are made to reduce splashes and mess.
A shelf mat - When you're using sauces and grease to cook it almost promises a mess being made around the cooking area. A shelf mat helps by providing protection from sauces, oil and marinades dripping off the grilling tools. Check your model and you will find a shelf mat compatible with your barbeque grill. Make sure to look for one that won’t scratch your stainless steel and always make sure the mat is dishwasher safe.
A grill brush - The best way to remove food and residue that's stuck on the grill is always brushing. A clean grill is less likely to cause dangerous flare-ups, and your food will taste far better. It’s much more simple to brush your grill grates when they're still hot, however, always make sure to stay safe.
A grill mat - This is a very clever tool, as it can help catch any splash that happens during your grilling. Oil and sauce stains can easily harm the patio surfaces, so it's recommended to have some additional protection. If the area that needs to be covered is large you can always turn to a tarp.

Dishwasher Safe Options

Dishwasher-safe is a thing of the 21st century, and it's quite common for grilling accessories nowadays to be made this way. Those accessories are often made of stainless steel, and more and more we get a chance to see a lot of silicone products that you can put in your dishwasher. As washing dishes is one part of a cleanup process, making sure your items are dishwasher-safe will also help you with it.

Prepping Your Grill

Each time you're about to sail into the magic of grilling, the one thing you need is your barbeque grill to be clean, neat and ready. When grilling is finished, take some time and prepare it in advance for its next use. First, the grease tray needs to be empty and clean. If it's a charcoal grill, take some time until the ash is cold and then throw it into the trash, making sure everything is safely done. In the end, wipe down the grill exterior to eliminate any food debris or splatters to make your grill look spotless. This way you'll make sure your barbeque grill is always good and ready for your next grilling.
