Work slowly and methodically, applying light pressure. You’ll notice the tablet lifts off thick residue and breaks down greasy spots with ease.
If needed, dip the tablet again briefly in water as you go. For tighter corners and smaller parts, break the tablet in half or use a sponge soaked in the same solution to get into crevices.
Once the carbon deposits are removed, rinse all parts thoroughly with warm water. You may also use a mild dish soap to eliminate any remaining residue or scent from the tablet.
Dry everything with an old towel or let the pieces air-dry completely before reassembling the grill.
Dispose of any leftover tablet pieces, used gloves, and cleaning cloths. Finally, reassemble the grill and marvel at how clean and shiny it looks—ready for your next barbecue session.
How to Make
You don’t need to make the tablet itself, but you can enhance its effect by preparing a powerful soak.
Fill a large container or sink with very hot water and dissolve one tablet in it. Let your grill grates soak in this solution for about 20 to 30 minutes before scrubbing.
This pre-treatment softens baked-on grease and makes the scrubbing process even easier.
If you don’t have a large enough container, wrap the grill grates in foil, drop a softened tablet inside the foil package, and pour a bit of hot water in before sealing.
