My Nana Taught Me This Hack to Get Rid of Grill Gunk in 4 Minutes with Zero Work — Here’s How It Works
If you’re like me, nothing ruins the joy of grilling quite like stubborn, baked-on grill gunk that won’t budge. Scrubbing, scraping, and hours of elbow grease? No thanks. Luckily, my nana passed down a legendary grill-cleaning hack that takes just 4 minutes and almost zero effort—and trust me, it really works.
Why This Hack Works
The secret lies in a simple ingredient you probably already have at home: white vinegar (or sometimes baking soda). Both are natural, non-toxic cleaners that dissolve grease and grime with minimal fuss. Paired with the heat of your grill, they create a steam-powered cleanup machine that loosens all that baked-on residue, making it easy to wipe away.
Here’s How to Do It:
Step 1: Heat Your Grill
Turn your grill on high and let it heat for about 5 minutes. The heat softens the grease and charred food stuck on the grates.
Step 2: Spray Vinegar
Turn off the grill, then spray a generous amount of white vinegar over the grill grates. Be careful—it might steam up when it hits the hot metal!
Step 3: Let It Sit
Close the grill lid and let the vinegar steam work its magic for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Wipe It Clean
Open the lid and, using a damp cloth or grill brush, easily wipe away the loosened gunk. You’ll be amazed at how effortlessly it comes off.
Bonus Tips:
- For extra stubborn buildup, sprinkle some baking soda over the vinegar spray before letting it sit. The fizz helps break down grease even more.
- Use a grill-safe cloth or brush to avoid damaging your grates.
- Repeat this process regularly to keep your grill in top shape all season long.
