A Grillmaster Recommends This Tool For Grill Cleaning
Dusting off your grill to make burgers, hot dogs and other backyard BBQ staples? Make sure to give it a good cleaning first. You might be underestimating how gross your grill is, even after months without use: We're talking 1.7 million bacteria microbes per square centimeter on an average grill, according to a 2013 study. That's why you'll want a tool like this scraper brush at the ready. Eco-cleaning professional and Hudstone Home founder Elizabeth Davis previously told HuffPost that food and grease buildup on a grill can cause foodborne illness because it attracts bacteria, including Salmonella, E. Coli, and Listeria. While that's reason enough in our eyes to be cleaning your grill regularly, there are also other factors to think about: Old debris like dirt and crumbs can be a fire hazard, and going too long without cleaning can cause rusting, damaging your — no doubt expensive — appliance. When it comes to the best product for cleaning your grill, we trust the experts. Meathead Goldwyn, founder of a BBQ Hall of Famer and the author of 'Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling,' told HuffPost that his favorite tool for cleaning his grill is this scraper brush by Grill Rescue. Grill Rescue was founded by Anthony Tranchida and Scott Mobley. Mobley has years of experience as a firefighter, and also cooked at the firehouse, inspiring him to make this scraper brush. The brush is notable for a few reasons. First, it's bristle-free, so you don't have to worry about bristles breaking off, and can safely use the brush on gas, charcoal, porcelain and other surfaces. It instead has a layer of aramid fiber, which is used in firefighter gear and can withstand heat up to 600 degrees. There's a metal scraper on the head to get at bigger gunk, but the pad also uses steam, aided by the grill's heat, for effective cleaning. 'To use the Grill Rescue grate cleaner, I dip it in a bucket of water for a few seconds, and then I wipe it across hot grates,' Goldwyn wrote on his website. 'The water boils and steams off the grease. The pad gets black quickly but it you can wash it by hand or in the dishwasher and it works like new for many, many uses. When worn out, you can replace the pad.' You can buy the pad replacement either with or without the scraper. Reviewers are similarly impressed with the convenience and effectiveness of the brush. One proclaimed, 'This is the best product I have ever used to clean [my] grill,' while multiple others vouch that the brush works as advertised. The safety aspect of being able to clean without wire bristles was also a hit among reviewers. Keep those nasty bacteria off of your grill with this steam-cleaning, firefighter- and grillmaster-approved tool by clicking the link below, or keep scrolling to read more glowing reviews from happy grill owners. Get it from Amazon for $38.21 (refill pads also available).
