Am I the only one who treats my grill grates as a dish and scrubs them with soap and water after every use? Cleaning them with just fire and a wire brush is fucking gross. WTF is wrong with you? Would you just blow on a fork and wipe it against your jeans and let the next person use it? It's a fucking cooking surface you animals.
Fats don't harbor bacteria. So just like with a cast iron skillet you don't need to scrub it clean. The fats actually prevent the metal from rusting and prevent the metal from there for disintegrating into your food. So it's really better to leave the fats on the grill.
Keeping it clean also prevents it from rusting. Your logic is invalid. My grill grates are far from disintigrating, they look factory fresh. It's ok to just admit you're too lazy to keep your grill clean. No judgement.
It's so funny that everyone is getting so angry and bent out of shape about this post. It was meant to be tongue in cheek but in true voat fashion it devolved into insults and hatered. Congratuation goats. You're terrible people.
Who has a sink big enough for a grate? Do you clean it the bath tub, you freak!?
(Said tongue in cheek)
Seriously though. You cant clean a grate in 95% of kitchen sinks. Unless you dont value getting black crud all over your kitchen. Better to scrape it outside where it belongs. Half the point of grilling is you keep the mess outside. Otherwise, just cook on your stovetop.
its not the size of the rack that matters it how you use it!
also I learned last year that a grill can be an extension of your kitchen. People should really get rid of the either or mentality between kitchen or grilling.
Eat shit fuckface. I'm not going anywhere. I've been here longer than you. You think this is my first account? LOL! It's prolly my first account in 3 years but I've been here from the start.
Sanitation isn’t an issue since the fire kills anything, but I like a clean grill because I don’t want food from a previous session burnt onto whatever I’m cooking now.
Maybe but I mean, my grates still have the factory ceramic coating and look brand new. My grill plate is seasoned and literally shines. I guess you can have a grill that just looks like shit but mine looks clean and "maintained". You can have a car and never wash it too. I prefer mine clean not just passable.
I don't think I've ever seen a used grill in the condition you describe. Same with the "factory ceramic coating". I have a small grill somewhere I used just 5 or 6 years ago. Burning charcoal goes just under a grill made of round stainless steel rods. Those haven't been shiny and new in 20 years. Scraping them down to bare metal then carbonizing anything remaining is fine with me.
Sure, you don't NEED to wipe your ass after you take a shit either but you know, it's the human thing to do.
Note to self... TheOriginal1Icemonkey is a very angry, small little man. Good to know. Not to mention, trying to frame NOT being a lazy bitch into being a bitch... Somehow. Idiot.
As a neurotic woman, I scrape mine clean, if I need it really clean, I use foil - shiny side down- for a while. The heat incinerates everything. Then I clean, while still hot, with a high smoke point oil.
This has nothing to do with ass wiping, and more to do with the nature of grease laminating on the grates, creating a nonstick surface.

The round grate I linked to, along with a scraper, should deal with 99.99% of your concern.
Here's a metal one if you don't like nylon.

I've seen other people's grills all loaded down with shit and it does affect how it cooks after awhile. I like my things to last and work.

Do you rub your nuts on your grill? Do you fart on your grill? Do have wet dreams on your grill?
