Keeping your V- Grills clean ensures the best cooking experience and extends their lifespan. We tested four different cleaning methods to find the most efficient and convenient way to keep them spotless.

Quick Cleaning Tip

Use your Ember Rake while the grills are still hot to scrape off excess food and grease. The V-shaped top of the Ember Rake is designed specifically for this purpose, making post-cook cleaning much easier.

Basic Cleaning Between Cooks

For everyday cleaning, we recommend:

Using warm water, washing-up liquid, and a scouring pad to remove surface grease.

Placing the V-Shaped Grills in the dishwasher for a hands-free option.

For tougher burnt-on grease, deeper cleaning is required. We tested the following four methods to see which works best.

Deep Cleaning Methods Tested

Spray onto the grills from a distance (be cautious of back spray and wear eye protection).

Let it soak for 10 minutes.

Scrub with a scouring pad and rinse thoroughly.

Pros: Works quickly and effectively.
Cons: Strong chemical smell and requires scrubbing effort.

Step 2: Bicarbonate of Soda & Vinegar

Best for: A natural, fume-free clean.

How to use:

Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the grills.

Pour vinegar on top and allow it to react.

Let it sit for a while before scrubbing with a scouring pad.

Step 3: The Pink Stuff
