Here are some our Who Knew? grilling tips…

PREP:
You can clean the grill grates by soaking them in a tub with hot water and one cup each of ammonia and dish washing liquid. Let it sit overnight, then the next day, grab those rubber gloves and scrub away!

You can also use WD-40 to clean your grill…spray and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. But make sure you wipe them off and clean them with soap and water!

AFTER THE GRILLING PARTY:
So your party was a hit, but the cleanup? Gross. Grab an onion, cut it in half and dip it in vegetable oil…scrub the onion over the hot grates. The enzymes in the onion will break down the grime and the oil softens it.

You can also use a red onion to add flavor by halving it, dipping it in water, then rubbing it over the grates before you start grilling.

A NEAT TRICK:
If you’re grilling a steak on a closed grill, you can open a can of Dr. Pepper or Root Beer and place it on the hottest part of the grill. The soda will boil and keep the meat moist, while adding flavor.

Thanks for listening!
