How Do You Prep A Gas Grill Cooking Surface?
Gas grill cooking surfaces require preparation in two phases. The first entails curing the cooking grates of a brand new gas grill, a process that essentially burns a protective grease coating onto the grates to inhibit rust and provide a stick-resistant grilling surface. The second phase involves the greasing of grates prior to cooking for producing attractive grill marks on food and to replenish protective coating. Diligently perform these steps, and your gas grill will provide years of enjoyable cooking. Open the grill lid and wipe down the inside of the grill and cooking grate with a rag or towel soaked in hot water. Dry it with a fresh towel or rag. Remove the cooking grate and lightly coat it with vegetable oil grilling spray on both sides. Place the grate back on the grill and fire up all burners before closing the grill lid. Adjust the burners to heat the grilling chamber to about 300 degrees F. Allow the greased grate to bake for about two hours until the grease stops smoking
