After you clean the grates on your grill, it is recommended that you take a paper towel that is wadded up and soaked with cooking oil and rub it across the grates before grilling. This prevents food from sticking to them. Cooking spray such as Pam works well too.

3m makes a cleaner and a polish all in one. You can get it at lowes I would say use the green pads or if really stained 00 steel wool

The wire brushes were in the news not too long ago. They can leave some wires from the brush on the grill, therefore what you are eating will pick it up and can lodge in your intestines therefore requiring surgery.

The Today Show just did a segment on this very topic. They said to NOT use the wire brushes. They also advised to only clean a grill with a scrunched up piece of aluminum foil. No cleansers, just the foil. I've used foil and it does clean well. After cleaning, I also turn on the grill and close the lid... this will burn off any excess goo the foil missed.

I have a new grill that is stainless steal what is he best way to clean it .a wire brush or just let it get real hot and use a damp rag or should i use one of them green scrubbing pads. I don't want to buy new grill grades in a year or so. Thanks
