Another few tips for you here, Cleaning your Barbie, different people have different ways on how to clean their barbie, here are a few from the experts..
Many barbecuers argue that the grill should be cleaned with soap and water just twice a year - at the beginning and end of the season. In between uses, the best way to clean the grill, according to most the trick is to scrape it with a wire brush and then spray on a bit of olive oil and wipe down with a tissue.
This is not just down to laziness - this method allows fats to build up on the bars, which means your food is less likely to stick to them.
However, like all things barbecued, this method is not agreed upon by everyone - especially by one Aldo Zilli.
the Italian-born chef and owner of London restaurant Zilli Fish says, disgusted by the thought of olive oil on his barbecue bars. He grew up as a child in a house without gas, where most of the cooking was done on a barbecue.

Zilli says. 'Food safety is part of the reason, but taste also comes into the equation. Who would want to eat fish and sausages that had been cooked in the same pan? It's the same thing.
Quote:
'You must wash the grill every time with soap and water before you start and then rub sea salt and lemon juice onto the bars.'

If you do decide to go the lazy route - relying on heat rather than effort to sterilise the cooking surface each time - then the best way to clean the grill at the end of the year is to fill a large dustbin
with water, drop in a dose of washing powder and leave the grill totally submerged overnight. Rinse it under a hose in the morning. Oh, and don't tell your Italian friends.
