Can stainless steel grill grates go in the dishwasher?

Also asked, is it OK to put grill grates in the dishwasher?

Items such as your cooking grates, Flavorizer® bars and Gourment BBQ System inserts should never be washed in the dishwasher as the hot steam could cause damage and ruin these items.

Similarly, how do you clean grill grates after use? Deep clean the grates once a year, or twice a year if you use your grill year-round. Remove the grates from the grill, spray them with oven cleaner and let them soak for 30 minutes to one hour. Scrub the grates thoroughly and rinse clean.

In this regard, how do you clean grill grates with vinegar?

The acid in the vinegar cuts through grease and cooked on food, while the foil acts as an abrasive to remove the food residue.

1. Pour white vinegar in a clean spray bottle.
2. Spray the cooking surface on the grill with the vinegar.
3. Allow the vinegar to remain on the surface for a few minutes.

How clean do grill grates need to be?

When cleaning stainless steel grates, many grillers cover the top of the grates with tough aluminum foil and heat the grates on high for 10 to 15 minutes. The aluminum foil will concentrate the heat on the grates to burn off the leftover food. Let the grates cool and scrub them with a nylon cleaning brush.
