It’s essential to clean and maintain a barbecue grill after it has been used. After cooking, take out all food, then cover the barbecue with a lid. The barbecue will continue to cook on high for 5-10 minutes. Let the grill cool, then scrub it with your barbecue brush.
Avoid bacterial contamination by cooking only on a clean, well-heated grill. After it has heated up, place the food onto it.
Gas grills should be turned off periodically. Also, make sure to check the burner openings for any meat drippings. To clean them, you can use a brush or a paperclip.
