The porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates are designed for durability and even heat distribution. After each use, once the grill has cooled slightly but is still warm, use a grill brush to remove food debris. For deeper cleaning, remove the grates and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
