Condition Your Grill With Oil To Prevent Sticking

Tired of food sticking to your BBQ grill? Try this. Heat your grill on high and let it get hot. Use a 2 inch brush and small dipping bowl with about 1/4 inch veg oil. Dab brush in veg oil, get excess off by using the edge of the bowl and wipe along the grate as if painting. It may get hot getting the back edge.

Now you're ready to grill. Do not clean after cooking. The next time you grill, heat up the grate and use a wire grill brush after it is hot. The old stuff will come off easy and redo the brush and oil thing before grilling. The more you do this the more your grill will be conditioned. BTW, I never clean the wire brush. The oil starts to gather on it, helping with the conditioning of the grill.
