Grill grates

What is the best way to keep my grill grates from from rusting? after I clean them

I use a coating of pam - seems to work well. Just make sure you heat the grill up nice and hot and brush off the grates when your ready to go again.

Wipe it down with wd-40.......Just kidding....Just Kidding......

Wipe it down with veg. or olive oil

Thanks I will try that.

simple, don't clean it after you use it. Clean it just before you put the meat on.

After you use the grill, put it up and forget about it after it cools. The next time you use it, light the fire and get the coals ready. Once the coals are ready, put the grate on, put the lid in place with all the vents open, and let it go for 3 or 4 minutes while you go inside to retreive the meat.

Once you are ready to put the meat on, open the grill, run your wire brush over the grill a few times (for god sakes, don't use the scraper), then you are ready to put the meat on the grill.

A properly "seasoned" grill grate will last almost forever, is non-stick, and will never rust.

I second the emotion! This is the principle of a self-cleaning oven. Burn the pizz out of anything left over from cooking.

Exactly what I do, turn the burners wide open with the lid shut and let it bake at about 400 degrees for as long as it takes to bring everything stuck on the grates to ash consistency and brush off. Then prior to throwing the meat on the grill take a wad of paper towel and wipe on alittle olive oil to keep the meat form stickin to the grates. Works like a charm !!
