1. Soak the Grates (for Tough Stains):
Preparation: If the grates are heavily soiled, it’s best to remove them from the cooker and soak them in warm, soapy water. Fill a large bowl or sink with warm water, add a few drops of dish soap, and mix to create soapy water.
Soak: Place the grates in the soapy water and let them soak for about 15-30 minutes. This will loosen any grease, food residue, and grime, making the cleaning process much easier.
2. Scrub with Baking Soda:
Create a Paste: After soaking, sprinkle some baking soda on the grates. For a stronger cleaning solution, make a paste by mixing baking soda with a little water until it forms a thick consistency.
Scrub: Use a sponge or scrub brush to apply the paste to the grates. Focus on any stubborn spots or greasy areas. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive and will help lift stains without damaging the grates.
Use an Old Toothbrush: For tight corners and hard-to-reach spots, an old toothbrush is ideal for scrubbing without scratching the surface.
3. Rinse and Dry:
Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the grates under warm running water to remove all the cleaning solution and food debris.
Dry: Use a clean towel to wipe down the grates, or leave them to air dry completely before placing them back on the stove.
4. Optional: Vinegar for Extra Shine:
Vinegar Shine: If you want your grates to shine, you can spray them with a little vinegar after cleaning and drying. Wipe them with a soft cloth to add an extra layer of shine and remove any leftover residue.
5. Daily Maintenance (To Keep Them Clean Longer):
Quick Wipe Down: For regular maintenance, it’s a good idea to wipe down the grates after each use. If there are small spills, use a damp cloth with a little dish soap to wipe them clean. This prevents grease and grime buildup, making deep cleaning less frequent.
