I would add a step to first burn off most the residue by turning all three burners up on high, and letting it go to 600 degrees for ten minutes. That would eliminate more than 90% of the residue, and make it easier to clean.
Great idea... on my next grill cleaning video, I will definitely add that. The grill wasn't too dirty this year, so I might wait til it gets bad. But thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching
Thanks for the feedback... music on from the youtube library sometimes isn't so great. I spend a long time searching I previously found great tracks from a bunch of youtubers that said the tracks could be used but later got flagged for copyright issues. I'll keep searching
Nice Job! Most people would not take the time to do this. However, something about cooking on the grill after a good cleaning, it just tastes that much better and you feel that much better. :)
It sure does. I have 2 grilles. A charcoal that I use year round but the propane one i like to clean at the end of the season and store it. It was so nice pulling it out of storage and cooking on it this week. It was like cooking on a brand new grill.
Poster please dont be offended but ive used this product for years and some safety stuff needs to be addressed. So just a couple pointers for people watching this. Scrape what you can like he did. Wear gloves and some kind of mask unless in wide open air that won't blow into your face. Spray and put parts inside of garbage bag to prevent evaporation just for smaller parts and grates. Check after 5 min and let go for longer up to 20 min if needed. Then use METAL scrubber to scrub the parts. This is how they get fully clean. Rinse very well. Then proceed to interior like he did but first take plastic scraper and remove all stuff you can. Empty the catch pan below if gas grill. Empty the small drip pan too. Then spray down the insides and close lid and let sit like you did with small parts but after first check scrape what you can. Then recoat with spray especially if it's really caked up and been a while. Then scrape again after 10-15 min. Then use same METAL scrubber on all surfaces. Then rinse. If using scrubber you don't need to use pressure washer and to be honest with these chemicals you shouldn't be aerosolizing it into the air anyway while spraying pressure washer lol. All products require manual debridement. If you do this 2x a year then you won't need to work as hard but I'm assuming most watching this video have a grill that hasn't been cleaned in 2+ years. And finally after all rinsing well and reassembly and checking everything turn grill on to highest setting on all burners and close lid. Let the thermometer peak for at least 10 minutes to dry everything and burn everything off. Now if you have cast iron grates you'll want to brush and preseason again a few times. Wear oven gloves as theyll be hot as heck and do the bottom too. Can just use pam spray. If you have coated porcelain enamel ones you can still spray the ops once after getting it to temp. You must dry and burn off any of the stuff left from the spray no matter how long you rinsed it. Especially with cast iron bare grates. You will get flash rust as this product is an oxide so it will cause mild oxidation. Just brush with your BBQ brush while hot and spray with pam with flames off. 👍🏻
Thanks for the added tips. I normally clean my grill before I put it away for the winter and this year I was curious if easy off would work with the addition on my pressure washer. Maybe I will make another video this fall and add your steps... thanks again and thanks for watching
Love it!! thanks for the inspiration to do this to my Spirit grill. One question: do I need to unplug those wires or can I just remove the burners from the inner bowl?
You pretty much just need to remove or cover the burners. I remove them and unplug them just so nothing clogs the holes or messes up anything electrical. Well, thanks for watching
I had the intuitive thought to use Easy Off in my grill a week AFTER i deep cleaned it. Im half tempted to disassemble and reclean with the Easy Off. Looks great!
Thanks it works great... I only use it at the end of the season before I put it away in storage for winter. Its amazing how clean it gets. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching.
I absolutely LOVE my new grill. I received it on time and was undamaged ru-vid.comUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . It was very easy to put together. I did it in less than 2 hours. However, there is one picture wrong in the instructions, but I had read the previous reviews before I bought this and knew what to expect. My last girl was a Charbroil grill and my friend and I did it together and it took us about 3 hours to do that one. I didn't want to write this review before I used it and I have only used it once but it was great. The thermometer worked perfectly, the grill ignited immediately (however, I will warn you in the instructions it does state to turn the knob slowly too high to ignite and you do need to turn it SLOWLY. If you turn it too fast it doesn't ignite). I will say the Cuisinart grill is a better made grill than my Char Broil was. And, my fiance loves the fact that it has a bottle opener on it. You definitely get your money's worth on this purchase. Plus, once you receive your grill, Cuisinart will send you a flier stating they will send you a free gift if you will post a review. Good or bad. They truly want to know how you like your grill. My gift shows I will receive a grill scraper, which I will definitely be able to use. Thank you Cuisinart!!
Thanks for the video. Haven’t done a thorough cleaning of my Weber in years, so going to try this. One note, you put your grates in upside down. The flat side should be up and the pointed side down.
You're welcome. Personally, I like having the grates skinner to make smaller grill marks. But it definitely would be easier to clean if I flipped them over. Maybe I'll try it. We'll thank you for watching
@CleanGrillThrill my tip wasn't about water entering the rails but to avoid debris entering, which then becomes a pain to clean. Also spraying on the tape would likely dislodge it.
I would have but I've been using the grill for the past month. It was nice almost like cooking on a brand new grill but When you have hungry kids I don't always get to pull out the camera to film. Sorry
Yes easy off is not supposed to be used on aluminum it can leave spots. Personally I don't mind using it on my grill but will be cautious and spray minimal amounts on any aluminum surfaces. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
Easy OFF is a great staff, but its very harmfull. Needs to be used with a mask, ventilation and open windows if used inside. This product not recommended on surfaces which coming in contact with food. Has to be completely removed, otherwise fumes can be also harmful for your food.
Yes the product is quite strong and not great to use all the time... I normally only use it once a year in a well ventilated area... hate to see anyone pull their BBQ grill inside to clean it. And I used a pressure washer to insure I removed all of the chemical before using the grill again. Great to do once but not all the time... well thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching
Lol, I normally use a kettle charcoal grill in the winter and store the propane grill to protect it from all the snow. But find most people watch my grill cleaning video in the spring. Well, thanks for watching
