Simply clean the encrusted grill grate

When we grill, we do it directly on the griddle, without aluminum bowls, which does not leave the tasty charcoal aroma to the grill food. Of course, the grill crusts completely. In the past, we always packed the grill in the dishwasher and scrubbed it clean afterwards. Now it does not work anymore because the new grate is too big. What now? In the late evening - especially when he is damp-happy - still a rust clean, is by no means a nice occupation.

My cousin advised me to wrap the grate overnight in newspaper and leave it lying in the grass. Although I was very skeptical, we did it anyway (tomorrow is finally a day). The astonishment the next morning was great: the rust was easily wipe clean with the rest of the newspaper. Logical, that we always do it this way!

It also works on the balcony: moisten newspaper, wrap in rust, first sleep over it. The trick works just as well with baking trays and the grate from the oven.
