How to Keep Your Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Stain-Free
You’re probably a bit skeptical, because why would you even need to bother doing anything to keep a stainless steel BBQ grill stain-free? If it’s stainless, staining shouldn’t ever be an issue, right? Unfortunately, not all stainless steel is created equal, and there are some knock-off grills that claim to be stainless steel that are far from stainless in practice. Obviously, the best way to avoid this problem is to opt for a better quality stainless steel barbecue grill, but there are still some easy steps you can take to make a lesser grill stay shiny. In fact, even if you have a grill made of quality 304 stainless steel sheet, it will still benefit from some of these fundamental tips on caring for a grill.
First and foremost, make sure that your grill has a cover. Any grill you buy should include a cover, but don’t forget to use it. The cover’s job is to keep out the elements, release any accumulated moisture, and protect the grill. The next step to keeping that stainless steel grill stain-free is to clean it, preferably before and after every use. All of the grease, sauces, and food particles that don’t get cleaned off can damage and discolor your grill, so be sure to clean it when you can. When you do clean it, you can inadvertently damage or stain the metal by using an abrasive cleaning agent and abrasive cloth or brush. Instead, you can get by with a microfiber cloth, and water or mild cleaning solution. In the end, if you take these tips to heart, you can enjoy a quality, stain-free BBQ grill for years to come.
