Any grill will eventually show traces of grease and carbon deposits. This will not only spoil the appearance of the stove, but will also interfere with cooking.

To prevent this, you need to clean the grill periodically. There are several methods for this. They will differ depending on the raw material from which the grill is made.

If the case is neglected, then it is unlikely that you will be able to clean the grille using one product. You will have to use some additional method.

For example, first soak the grill in a special cleaning solution for 2-3 hours, and then choose another product for the grill depending on its material.

This can lead to the grate simply crumbling. In addition, grates of this type cannot be washed in the dishwasher.

It is better to clean the cast iron grate using soda, vinegar and mustard.

Also, the grate is cleaned by calcination. To do this, it is calcined in a fire, hot sand, or using a blowtorch. The main thing is to do this while observing safety rules.

Steel and enamel grates

Enameled and steel grates cannot be cleaned with metal brushes or aggressive chemicals that are not intended for this purpose. It is also not recommended to wash them in the dishwasher.

When defects appear on the grille, corrosion will form on them over time.

Grills of this type, just like cast iron ones, can be cleaned with a mixture of soda, mustard and vinegar.

In addition, they use specialized products for washing very dirty dishes, bleaches, and alkali-based cleaning products.

Starch is also used as a folk remedy. If the grill is not damaged, it can be washed in a dishwasher. It is not recommended to calcine grills of this type.
