A Warning Tale For Grillers

[CandRFan]

Tomorrow evening, I will be grilling, and I always clean my own grill, after the previous cooking and then again before I start cooking, so I ain't skeered of what I will be eating.

It's the Wife's birthday, our Anniversary, and our salute, to all the soldiers who have fought for our freedom to grill freely.

Happy Memorial Day/Weekend to all our soldiers, sailors, and airmen.

The menu;
Mesquite smoked Blue Marlin, with fresh Gulf Jumbo Shrimp, baked potato, cole slaw, baked beans, beer and a little wine.

That look magnificent!
Do you use the same grill for fish and red meat or chicken? If so, is there any "taste contamination" left behind from the fish?

I use a wadded up piece of foil.

also good for cleaning old chrome.

You're my hero man, really. Where does one find a slab-o-marlin like that to smoke?

I have experienced the exact same thing. Luckily i didnt swallow it, rather it embedded itself in my gum when I bit down. Ouch, havnt used a wire brush since.

I do not use the same cooking surface for meat and fish. I bought an extra grill to use in the same cooker when I am doing meat and fish at the same time, or usually I'll use the gas grill for one, and the charcoal for the other.

"The Butcher Block" in Bloomington on the east side behind Best Buy. They are a bit pricey, but it is all fresh as it can be in Bloomington, Indiana and we only buy the really good stuff for special occasions. They have great variety of fresh seafood and really good beef.

The Blue Marlin was 21.99 a pound and the fresh Jumbo Gulf Shrimp was $23.00 a pound. We also picked up some really nice Rib Eye's for the in-laws that are not seafood eaters.

Yep, read it.
But I do not use a wire brush to clean my stainless steel grill grates, never have.

I spray oven cleaner on the grates when I am done, let them soak for a while, then wash them good with warm soapy water and scrub them with a scotch brite pad, then store them, then before cooking I wash them in warm soapy water, put them on the grill while the charcoal is getting hot and then cook up a storm.

I, or my guests, won't be eating any bristles out of a wire brush, that I don't use.

I can't find my wire brush. I looked all winter. Then, there it was. In my other hand.

Didn't read the article, did you? Cleaning WAS the issue.

I use one of those scrubber pads with a handle to clean my grill. It's nylon and the same general idea like a brillo pad. My grill grates are nonstick coated, so I don't want to use a wire brush (even though I have one I used on the old gas grill).

Not only does the scrubber I use clean the grates, but it also then seasons the grates (as much as they can be seasoned). I then make sure my fire is hot enough to kill anything. Every once in a while, I'll bring the grates in and clean them in the sink with soapy water.

Me too, charcoal gets HOT, cleans the grill for me.

It's called "Seasoning"

This is how I clean my grill. I get the biggest onion from the grocery and I cut it in half. Once the grill heats up nice and hot I use the half onion with some peanut oil on it, to scrub the grill. The grilling onion smells great and it does a good job of getting the nuggets off the grill. Then I usually chop up the onion, put it in some foil with a squirt of olive oil and a pinch of rosemary, and just leave it to simmer on the grill while I cook the rest of the food...it's a good side dish or steak topping.

Damn - That sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna try that.
But after getting my nuggets off with the onion - I really don't think I should eat it.

I bet it will make my underwear smell good though.

Oh, man. While wire brushes may be a potential hazard, the last thing we need is Chucky Schumer getting a bug up his ass.

My mom was eating at a Red Robin once and got a wire from their brush in her burger.
