Watch: the residue is reduced to ash, and your grills are disinfected.
Why does it work so well?
The aluminum foil acts as a lid within the lid. It concentrates the heat on the grills, which helps char any remaining food residue and grease. As a result, everything crumbles easily or turns to dust. And because the heat is so high, it naturally sterilizes the grill surface, without any chemicals.
Little extras to know:
Don't leave the paper on for more than 4 minutes: beyond that, it can damage the grills depending on the material.
This tip works on all types of barbecues : gas, charcoal, electric, etc.
For the more cautious, test a small area the first time.
And for even more efficiency, you can give it a quick wipe with a soft brush once the grill has cooled, just to remove the ash.
Bonus: a healthier and more ecological solution
In addition to being simple, this method is respectful of your health (no chemicals inhaled or in contact with food) and more environmentally friendly than a traditional cleaning spray. All for almost nothing, since all you need is a little aluminum foil and heat.
“With this trick, cleaning the barbecue becomes almost as enjoyable as grilling itself.”
