So no one else uses a bucket of ice and elbow grease anymore?

Dry bricking a grill is the worst.

Sodium hydroxide is non-toxic. I know some people get a very “poison/chemical” vibe from it due to its incredibly high base properties and how harsh it is on skin/lungs.
But you could drink it at the right dilution. People are scared of what they don’t understand.
Same with bleach, detergent, sanitizer. All food safe and non toxic.

My jobs owner says you can’t go “side to side, only up and down” with a grill brick so the back of the grill is never clean because I can’t get in there and really scrub it…

Why not use ice?

A coworker couldn’t find the degreaser so he took one of the oven tabs and tried to dissolve it on the still hot top. It burned and was super healthy

So glad my flat is used for *only* toast.

Fryer oil, then ice, and lemon juice is the recipe.

Don’t let any dihydrogen monoxide near it! 100% of people who come into contact with it die!

When we had one in our kitchen we cleaned it with just canola and a grill brick. I got that thing shiny as hell.

My kitchen also doesn’t use chemicals on the flat. I grill brick it really good then hit it with a wet towel to get the oil off and then use lemon juice, let it sit for 20 seconds then use another wet rag to get the juice off then I use white vinegar (same steps as the lemon). If you can take a towel to it afterwards and it comes back clean then the flat is good to go

Pee on it all natural
tbh hot water and effort does the job.
Everything is made of chemicals….
I have chemicals at work for the flat top, haven’t used them since the one guy that thought he needed them left and the flat top is cleaner than ever.
Grill Brick + Oil just like it tells you to on the brick is best way.
Perfect! Now get to work boiling out that fryer next!
Ain’t no short cut, Besides doing it well everyday. Oil and clean. Stainless is a goal.
Did it like that for years. Not too bad
Fuck man… neither do I.
I’m not ready to die on many hills in a kitchen, but this sure as shit is one of them. Grill bricks for life.
Have a look at what a block of ice will do for you https://www.reddit.com/r/castiron/s/MBNu1b1bZW
Can you come do mine next?
