Culinary instructor Karen Adler recommends Grate Chef® Grill Wipes for both preparing and cleaning your grill. The wipes come six per pack, are saturated with foodservice-grade vegetable oil to coat the grill and can be stuck to a grill brush to scrub the grate when cooking is done.

GRATE FRIENDS

“I just wanted to write and tell you how much my hubby and I love your Grill Wipes (UPC 8 50110 00003 8)! We use them for our Weber propane grill, and they're the best grill oiler we've tried. Keeps our grates clean, and doesn't leave a funny taste on the food. We also like that you can use it when the grill's hot, that makes it a lot easier to clean!”
