How to Clean Grill Grates With Oven Cleaner
Grill grates accumulate food and grease from cooking, causing a layer of burned-on residue. In addition to being unhealthy, this burned-on residue can negatively affect the flavor and appearance of your food. While you can clean grill grates using high heat and a stiff brush, using oven cleaner can remove the toughest grease and residue. With a few tools, you can restore the original appearance of your grill grates and improve the taste of your food.

Open the bag and remove the grates. Avoid inhaling the fumes when you open the bag.
