Over time, grease, charred bits, and food residue can build up, affecting the food's taste and the grill's performance.
I have discovered that Easy-Off oven cleaner is not only for cleaning your oven but also very effective in cleaning my grill.
Easy-Off is known for its ability to break down stubborn grease and grime. It's specifically designed for tough kitchen jobs, making it perfect for cleaning grills.
Safety First: Here is What You'll Need
Make sure you follow all the safety instructions on the can.
- Easy-Off oven cleaner (I use the Heavy Duty version)
- Rubber gloves to protect your hands
- A sponge or grill brush ( I use a Scrub Daddy)
- A bucket of warm water for rinsing
- Paper towels of cloth
This was my cooking chamber in my grill before I cleaned it with Easy-Off oven cleaner.
Here is my cooking chamber after I cleaned it.
After cleaning, I wiped the cooking chamber and grill grates with cooking oil and added a chimney full of hot charcoal. I closed the lid to let the temperature rise to 500 degrees.
Then, let the grill cool naturally. This process is to reseason the grill, and the grates to prevent rust. I do this because the grates are cast iron and the cooking chamber is all metal.

I doubt I would have thought to use Easy Off on the grill lid, but that is ingenious! Since it is made for ovens and oven temps, I can see how it would be the perfect grill cleaner. Thanks for the great tip and instructions.
ReplyDeleteI think my hubs did use this for grill cleaning. Nice that it works for both indoor and outdoor oven/grill cleaning. Thanks, Sam.
ReplyDeleteYou always maintain your tools well, Sam, so it’s not surprising that you also keep your grill/smoker combo clean. So glad the Easy-Off works well for you!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an excellent product for cleaning grills and from your photos it certainly did a good job. Great it did such a good job for you. Thank you for your review and recommendation
ReplyDeleteCleaning the grills is really a messy job, but using Easy Off makes that job seem so much easier. I would never have thought to do that, but it makes perfect sense. It's always nice to find more than one use for cleaners. And I love the Scrub Daddy, but you know that already!
ReplyDeleteIt will always be the go-to cleaner for an oven/grill. After all these years it's still number one in my books.
