However, to continue getting the best tasting food and most efficient grilling, it&#8217;s critical to maintain your grill on a regular basis. Neglecting the task just makes it more difficult to clean baked-on grease and food residue.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, once you get the steps down, it&#8217;s a fairly straightforward process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take out the grates and leave them to soak in warm, soapy water.\n<li>With a charcoal grill, sweep out the insides after removing the grate. With a gas grill, take out the briquettes or flame shield so you can see the burner.\n<li>With warm, soapy water, clean around the burner, being careful not to knock it out of place. Brush out all the ashy residue.\n<li>Clean the insides of the grill with some soapy water and a wire brush.\n<li>Let the metal flame shield soak or brush off the briquettes or lava rocks before putting them back in the grill.\n<li>After soaking in warm water, the grates should be easy to brush clean.\n<li>Spray the inside surfaces with cooking oil in preparation for the next grilling.\n<li>Replace the grates and leave the hood open so the grill can air dry.\n<\/ul>\n<p>The next time you fire up the grill, give it an additional five minutes to heat up before you add any food. You don&#8217;t want any cleaning solutions to remain on the grates and affect the taste of your food.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eeeeee;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\"><img title=\"Brittany Rowland\" src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/graphics\/authors\/brittany_rowland_50.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany Rowland\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><sup><strong><span style=\"color: #440e62;\">Brittany Rowland researches new developments in Appliances, Kitchen and CE products features with a vigor to which few would aspire&#8230; but someone has to do it.<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/brittany-rowland\/\">See more about Brittany<\/a><\/strong><\/sup><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"bgheading\">Featured Grilling Articles<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/the-basics-of-grilling-knowing-when-to-use-hot-or-low-temperatures\/\">The Basics of Grilling: Knowing When to Use Hot or Low Temperatures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/grilling.jpg\" alt=\"The Basics of Grilling: Knowing When to Use Hot or Low Temperatures\" class=\"post_thumbnail thumbnail\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"bgpara\">While there are now high-end grills that feature no shortage of special tools, precise controls, and convenient accessories, the basic principles of grilling have not changed much over the years&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/the-basics-of-grilling-knowing-when-to-use-hot-or-low-temperatures\/\">[more]<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"bgheading\">More Top 10 Lists<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/best-charcoal-grills-reviews\/\">Top Charcoal Grills<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/10rate.com\/images\/grills\/weber-741001.jpg\" alt=\"Top Charcoal Grills\" class=\"post_thumbnail thumbnail\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"bgpara\">There are a wide range of charcoal grills from portable to stand alone models.
