Cleaning my Grill with Easy-Off Oven Cleaner - Reviewed

 

Cleaning my grill with easy-off oven cleaner
Keeping my grill in top condition ensures my grilling is always a hit. I have a Char-Griller Smokin Champ, a combination smoker, and a charcoal grill.

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
After spraying the Easy-Off Heavy Duty I let it set for about an hour. Then, I use the scrub daddy and warm water to wipe out the grease. After I have all of the grease cleaned out I use the paper towels to wipe it dry. There is no doubt about it, this is a messy job but, the results are satisfying and it works well.

Before Cleaning

This was my cooking chamber in my grill before I cleaned it with Easy-Off oven cleaner.

After Cleaning

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.

  1. 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.

  5. Cleaning 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!
