can be easily
cleaned after the post-heating period. As soon as
the 15 minutes post-heating is completed, turn
the gas off. Open the lid with a covered hand and
with the use of a brass brush, rub the grid surface.
After you have completed this step, place
moistened paper towels under the brush and
brush again rotating the towel as it cleans your
grid. Remember to use a covered hand as the grid
surface may still be warm.

designed to provide you with a 30% hotter cooking
surface over conventional cast or wire cooking grids.
It is easier to clean because of the smooth surface,
while also being constructed of strong, sturdy 304
stainless steel.
You will find this cooking surface to be extremely
durable while providing more heat directly to your
cooking surface for faster, more economical cooking.

stiff bristle brush.
