Cleaning the grill is like cleaning the shower. You put it off for months, then once you actually put some effort into it, it gets all nice and shiny again, and you feel like you accomplished a real thing for the day.

Our grill was mostly dirty from a combination of food and thunderstorms. We have a stainless steel gas grill, so first things first, unplug it all so you don’t catch on fire.

For cleaning stainless steel, we went with the soapy water and soft rag route. Sponge bath for all the cooking surfaces, and the inside of the grill.

After a little muscle power and soap, its looking good as new. We wanted to grill some chicken for dinner, but we have to go to a flag football game. Who knew football would be the thing standing between us and the grill.
