Step 1: Light BBQ

• The easiest way to remove burnt-on food from your BBQ grill is to carbonise it.

• To do this you must firstly light your BBQ as you normally would.

Step 2: Place Lid on BBQ

• Put the lid on to allow the heat to build up inside.

• Any food on the grill will be carbonised.

• When this carbonisation process is complete, the black deposits will seem dry and non-greasy.

Step 3: Brush Grill

• The carbonised deposits can be easily brushed off using a wire brush.

• Vigorously brush the grill until smooth and clean.

Step 4: Clean with an Onion• You can use an onion to clean and season

the grill. • Cut an onion in half, stick your barbeque

fork into the back of it and wipe vigorously across the hot grill. The onion has a caustic effect, removing food deposits and residue while also flavouring the grill.

• Do not use harsh chemicals to clean your BBQ. Harsh chemicals can leave a residue, which can affect the taste and smell of the food the next few times you use the BBQ.
