How to clean the grill? Grill cleaning kits

The dirt settling on the grate can adversely affect both the properties and taste of the prepared dishes, and the health of people who eat the dishes cooked on it. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the grill regularly. How to do it effectively?

Dishes cooked on a charcoal grill guarantee a unique taste. Slightly smoky aroma and juicy texture - grilled dishes are so popular in general! This is difficult to achieve by other methods. Even an electric grill does not guarantee such a multifaceted taste.

Unfortunately, due to its specificity, grilling is associated with the formation of hard-to-remove impurities. When grilling food, especially meats or cheeses, fat drips onto the grill and can burn. This process causes the production of harmful compounds that can be carcinogenic. An example is acrolein, which is formed as a result of oxidative changes in fats.
