Get Ready for Grilling Season in These 3 Easy Steps
After a weekend record-breaking April snowstorm, it's hard to be thinking spring.
Well, actually it's easy to be thinking and longing for spring, but harder to be feeling it. Let's face it though, in true Minnesotan fashion, you've most likely already pulled out your grill to give it a go. And most likely, it's looked something like this.
Not exaggerating.
In the meantime, while anxiously watching for sunshine and warmer weather in your 10-day forecast, let's get your grill prepared so it's ready to roll when the sun decides to shine next!
1) Dust off your grill
If you're like me and like crossing things off of your list, I thought I'd start you off easy. All you have to do is pull out your bad boy of a grill, and dust that baby off! Done.✓
2) clean your grill
SAFETY FIRST. Make make sure that your grill is off. If you just used it, be sure that the gas is off and let it cool down before trying to take out the grates. Then, go ahead and determine if you need to simply clean or replace the grates. If the grates are rusted or crumbling, chances are your burgers and steaks deserve better. ✓
If they just need cleaning, proceed -
You Will Need:
- a heavy-duty grill scraper or brush
- scouring pad
- sponge
- microfiber cloth
- dish soap
- warm water
- a large, plastic bucket
Gloves are optional. Elbow grease is not.
Next, combine the warm water and soap into a large bucket. And yes, you guessed it - start scrubbing! I recommend soaking the grates in the warm water as you go so that the it is easier.
3) Buy the beef.
The most important step, I saved for last. Go buy some beef! Whether it is from your local grocery store or meat market, buy ALLLL the beef. ✓ Specifically, burgers and steaks for entertaining.
There you have it - 3 Easy Steps to take your grill from zero to hero and drab to fab!
Now, get grilling.
No excuses.
No beef left behind. #BoldlyBeef
