Solid content. I wish I saw this video 15 years ago. Personally, I like white vinegar instead of lemon juice. Lemon juice had sugars that could cause browning. Also, depending on the temp you run your grill, olive oil will burn and cause more carbon build up to clean the next day. Most fry oils are higher temp smoke point. A bit of grapeseed or flaxseed oil is the best.

I’ll tell u this bro it ain’t broken. I used to be a manager when I was 20. We just say that instead of saying oh the machine is down and doing a clean up cycle. So we don’t waste time explaining
I literally just got done after like an hour scrubbing tf out of my grill the way I was taught (by my boss btw lol) and BOYYYY do I wish I would've learned the correct way to do it !!!

its been a minute since my ServSafe certification but i'm pretty sure it's a bad idea to mix chemicals 3 feet away from where food is being prepped on the same table
FYI never use ice or ice water! For tough burned on surface or to refinish scratched surface use veg oil and a special fine grain griddle brick. Produces a super smooth griddle!

You should take on the challenge of educating yourself about labor law and unions. The iww has a lot of organizer manuals and stuff that can be found online. Even in audiobook format. Staughton lynd also writes books worth checking out.
Back in the 70's when I worked at a place that had a grill like this, they gave us the cleaning bricks only. Took forever and a mess to clean up. I usually work the closing shift as I was a teenager. I worked a Saturday and day crew showed me a secret. Turn on to high and get hot. Turn off and throw on ice cubes. Worked great everytime. Quick and easy to clean up. Touched up any spots with Brillo if needed. No chemicals.
I honestly don't know why so many people feel the need to comment on alternative ways of doing this (even hinting that their way is better), when this looks perfect in many ways (cost, chemical-free, easy, no unnecessary lingering tastes/smells). Perhaps it's just the way people are or have become. I for one, am happy to congratulate the guy on his efforts and ingenuity. WELL DONE
@@cameronwilliams4149 warps the surface, breaks the welds, creates microfractures. Grill eventually becomes a fire hazard. It's just physics, my dude. Plus my experience in the industry repairing restaurant equipment.
@@adbyee386 I started to think "very good counter argument from adb yee'. Then I thought 'hang on a minute', my original comment expresses my amazement at HOW MANY people had chosen to comment the way they did, as opposed to being amazed at why people commented the way they did. You clearly either have missed that point, or simply can't differentiate between the two. In either case, you have exposed yourself as being quite simple, whilst attempting to be intricate in your approach (and aggressive for reasons unknown to myself). I could pick so many more faults in your response, but have decided not do so, unless you insist on replying again, with more nonsense. (I feel better now) 😎
Just in case anyone wants to know why add oil at the end? Ill tell you why, I was taught this during my restaurant internship. Metal, when it goes under heated environments especially, always breathes, making it expand overtime, and contract overtime. Oil acts as a lubricant to fill in the empty pores so that you can cook on the grittle easier later, without wearing out the metal top and sticking food to it when being used in the long run. If you don't oil the grittle at the end, what happens is the metal has an easier chance to break, and beforehand during cooking youll have food begin to stick to the metal surface, preventing you from getting higher quality food and risk of breaking the metal top. That's as much as I remember up to now but generally its important to oil it everyday to keep it moist, lubricated and appreciated for its use. If you don't love your tools, your tools won't love you back. ;)
Sometimes I have one of those moments and think, "wow, everything I've done in my life has lead to this moment." And I'm watching a guy clean a grill. I liked it
I work as a cook and its so goddamn satisfying to clean the grill at the end of the day and watch it go from dark yellow and black, spray some ranger on then scrape and pour white vinegar (instead of lemon juice) on and watch it bubble up and eat it away and turn it in to black goopy sludge that you can easily scrape away and dispose of. Came to this video just to watch someone else do it because its so satisfying
Yes, I'm one of the comments who has a flat top grill. edit: a year after i commented this, let's all pray for my flat top grill, whose life span was 6 years. tbh, i expected this since i got it second hand. But nonetheless, I cooked some pretty tasty burgers there.
Gets interview at chipotle Manager: why should we hire you? Me: I already know how to clean your grill. Manager: *looks up intensely* “you are the chosen one”
First thing I thought about when seeing the grill. I feel like asking my manager if I can do so. We always have a lot of lemon juice to clean other things and use for food
Do this a lot. Use lemon juice, screen wire and a 2x4 block. On warm grill pour lemon juice on top, wrap screen wire around 2x4 block and rub griddle clean. Use it every day on a riverboat. Cleans very quickly. We use clean shop towels that can be washed and reused. Slight coating of crisco and boat chef is ready for the next days 3 meals.
I'm an electrical engineer suffering from sleep deprivation and youtube suggested me this. I found it so satisfying to watch and even slept for 6 hours straight.
Citric acid in water. It's the most cost effective way to get the end result. The sugars in the sodas will build up and burn, and the lemon juice is wasteful and expensive.
this is a great video for people to learn about how lemon or vinegar breaks down charred food in a pan too, its basically deglazing at a collossal level lol!😂
Back in high school I worked at restaurant cooking on one of these. We had the bricks that sounded horrible and took forever. I found out by turning heat on high, then got bucket of ice . Just dump ice on grill. Wait a couple minutes, then scrape off. Very easy. No chemicals. Just goes to show, there are many ways to do something.
I’m a km, and Ik at some Higher end restaurants (idek if u worked at one or not) they do not allow chemical cleaning solutions so most times they use the ice trick, grill brick ( both of which u used) and lime or lemon juice. Other restaurants don’t care and use degreaser as shown in the video
You know you're supposed to use a scouring pad under the brick right? Also if you let the grill get this dirty then you've been doing something wrong the whole time, it takes 30 seconds to pour some water on a hot grill, scrape it off and clean 90% of the crap off
@haxorouse3265 no, you don't need to use a scouring pad under the bricks. That's the benefit to the brick is ypu don't need the pad, screen and the tool to scrub with, the brick does the same job. I've cleaned flat tops many different ways and most work about the same if the person doing the work knows what they're doing and takes pride in what they do.
@@sparrow3100 it's an intelligent, well made joke, for some who don't get it, like you, you're intrigued. For others, well they don't understand so they lash out with anger and disgust or he thought the joke was meant to.be offensive
my guess is that the rolled style.of ice cream uses the same spatula and has many odd colors/flavors America isn't used to so the spatula scraping was prob a reference to the ice cream.
This is so much easier than what we’d do when I was a line cook. We had neutralle cleaning solution, water it down soak the flattop for 2-3 mins grab a wire brush and put our backs into it for 15 mins
At In N Out, we STILL put our backs to it! We scrape all the excess crud off, throw water, then use a grill screen to remove the excess. Its alot of effort and high heat. We also have a fast action solution, but that stuff is strong smelling and our bosses discourage us from using it. After years of cleaning, my back is hurting pretty good after every clean.
Most major fast food chains all use steel brushes and some stupid solution. Dude this was so effortless why isn't this a comman practice in restaurants.
@@leandroagonzalez3 I asked my store manager about this method. I was told that our grills would suffer damage due to the rapid change in temperature. Im not sure if its BS or true because of our grill design. But it bites. This looks so easy.
All of y’all crying about “the chemicals being next to the food”.. the high temp grill cleaner is food safe. You could drink it if you wanted to. It’s just glycerin and coloring
That oven cleaner will make you cough the first few weeks of exposure. Then it eats away your finger prints if you don't use gloves. 3 years cleaning kitchens at a hotel.
I used to be a prep cook when I was in college and this is exactly how it’s done. Plain water works, and we just used pan spray after but this is legit. I think I watched the whole thing to make sure they did it right idk I’m bored
This is like the 2nd time youtube recommended this to me, i watched it once b4 and decided to watch it again. I dont work in a restaurant or the food and beverage industry. But im gonna watch this til the end. XD

Personally, I like white vinegar instead of lemon juice. Lemon juice had sugars that could cause browning. Also, depending on the temp you run your grill, olive oil will burn and cause more carbon build up to clean the next day. Most fry oils are higher temp smoke point. A bit of grapeseed or flaxseed oil is the best.
Even better soda water
Olive oil creates a polymer film when heated that makes the surface non stick.
@@Cyrus_II other oils also do, but as mentioned above they don't burn nearly as quickly as olive oil does

We did the same brick and ice. Long time ago
used to work in a kitchen probably 10 years ago now and this is how we cleaned our grill tops, watching this brought back many memories haha
You only need ice water
What is the product being sprayed on the flat top?
@@truthhurts7529 think it could be dishwashing liquid watered down not too sure
@@truthhurts7529 Ecolab Grill Express. I believe in the video it was diluted. I could be wrong though.
I come back maybe once every couple of years to rewatch this masterpiece.
I honestly don't know why so many people feel the need to comment on alternative ways of doing this (even hinting that their way is better), when this looks perfect in many ways (cost, chemical-free, easy, no unnecessary lingering tastes/smells).
Perhaps it's just the way people are or have become.
I for one, am happy to congratulate the guy on his efforts and ingenuity. WELL DONE
I just want people to not throw cold water on a grill when hot. It's a good way to ensure you destroy the grill
@@jonathonhobbs6676 how do you figure?
Chemical free ? Did you not see the bottle
Of yellow chemical he was spraying lol
@@cameronwilliams4149 warps the surface, breaks the welds, creates microfractures. Grill eventually becomes a fire hazard.
It's just physics, my dude.
Plus my experience in the industry repairing restaurant equipment.
@@adbyee386 I started to think "very good counter argument from adb yee'. Then I thought 'hang on a minute', my original comment expresses my amazement at HOW MANY people had chosen to comment the way they did, as opposed to being amazed at why people commented the way they did. You clearly either have missed that point, or simply can't differentiate between the two. In either case, you have exposed yourself as being quite simple, whilst attempting to be intricate in your approach (and aggressive for reasons unknown to myself). I could pick so many more faults in your response, but have decided not do so, unless you insist on replying again, with more nonsense.
(I feel better now) 😎
Now i'll be able to show off when someones flat top grill is dirty af.
If you have high temp grill cleaner like they have in the spray bottle in the beginning.
Just in case anyone wants to know why add oil at the end? Ill tell you why, I was taught this during my restaurant internship.
Metal, when it goes under heated environments especially, always breathes, making it expand overtime, and contract overtime. Oil acts as a lubricant to fill in the empty pores so that you can cook on the grittle easier later, without wearing out the metal top and sticking food to it when being used in the long run.
If you don't oil the grittle at the end, what happens is the metal has an easier chance to break, and beforehand during cooking youll have food begin to stick to the metal surface, preventing you from getting higher quality food and risk of breaking the metal top.
That's as much as I remember up to now but generally its important to oil it everyday to keep it moist, lubricated and appreciated for its use. If you don't love your tools, your tools won't love you back. ;)
We need more people like you. 👍
So fuck.
@@HashV17 Well thank you! I hope so too xD
It's the same as seasoning a wok?
@@diralis7316 I think so
Watched this before going to bed. I can sleep peacefully now!!!
Sometimes I have one of those moments and think, "wow, everything I've done in my life has lead to this moment."
And I'm watching a guy clean a grill.
I liked it
after being a line cook for 2 years, nothing makes me happier than this video.
Garrett Lancaster what did he spray on the flat top???
I'm coming here every once in a while for the satisfaction
I work as a cook and its so goddamn satisfying to clean the grill at the end of the day and watch it go from dark yellow and black, spray some ranger on then scrape and pour white vinegar (instead of lemon juice) on and watch it bubble up and eat it away and turn it in to black goopy sludge that you can easily scrape away and dispose of. Came to this video just to watch someone else do it because its so satisfying
Yes, I'm one of the comments who has a flat top grill.
edit: a year after i commented this, let's all pray for my flat top grill, whose life span was 6 years. tbh, i expected this since i got it second hand. But nonetheless, I cooked some pretty tasty burgers there.
Is this stainless steel top? Does it sticks compared to cast iron?
@@kyepinnlau1772 I can't tell actually, by the looks of it it's probably stainless steel
I am looking for an even heating grill top for pan cakes. U have any advice? Does stainless steel works? Or cast iron is better ya
@@kyepinnlau1772 I prefer cast iron because it conducts heat better
Impossible
Gets interview at chipotle
Manager: why should we hire you?
Me: I already know how to clean your grill.
Manager: *looks up intensely* “you are the chosen one”
I wish we could clean our grills like that😪😂
First thing I thought about when seeing the grill. I feel like asking my manager if I can do so. We always have a lot of lemon juice to clean other things and use for food
Fanwars are for idiots I mean hey, it’s pretty much sugarless lemonade at the end lol so why not?
Chipotle managers would fire you on the spot if you cleaned the grill this well lol. Only Chipotle Grill workers understand what I mean lol.
heavymetal111x6 yes that will get you hired
I'm a level 72 grill cleaner and I approve this method
noobs
f2p pls
Gotta reach OP8, then we can talk
Skip the first cleaner, replace the lemon juice and water with one quarter the amount of red wine vinegar. Welcome to the next level
@@fiercedeityfan love the borderlands reference lol
Don’t work in a kitchen but I’ve been blessed by the algorithm.
After cleaning: now the sauce is ready.
HAHAAAHHAHA GOLD
Tar sauce??
Yooooooo! 😂😷
Not the secret sauce!
Why the hell I remember
"where's the LAMB SAUCE?"
My body: It’s 2 am we really need to get to bed
My brain: Nah I think ima keep whatching someone clean a grill
Huh.... Why does that sound like what I'm doing exactly rn...
Anybody that’s ever had their kitchen criticized by Gordon Ramsay: “Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!”
Lol you suck lol trash
Ramsey would have lit him up for filling the chemical bottle on that food prep surface
What did you spray the griddle with? This is a great video, thanks.
David
I also want to know 😭
If you know, you know
??????
I've learned tons of ways to clean flats but this is a new one. Learning is fun.
Shout out 2 all the closers out there ur doin a great job
Dads Homemade Clam Chowder I hated closing my job lol
👌
Ayyyyyeeeee!!!!!
Thnx G it’s a bitch staying and picking up after the cooks
Just closed the kitchen. I wish we had a flat top grill too.
Never had and never going to have a flat top grill. But i appreciated this tutorial very much thanks.
Do this a lot. Use lemon juice, screen wire and a 2x4 block. On warm grill pour lemon juice on top, wrap screen wire around 2x4 block and rub griddle clean. Use it every day on a riverboat. Cleans very quickly. We use clean shop towels that can be washed and reused. Slight coating of crisco and boat chef is ready for the next days 3 meals.
Oddly satisfying. Thanks algorithm gods.
2:31 The sound he makes with the spatula soUNDS LIKE THE PIXAR LAMP JUMPING OML
No.
No
See you all in another 8 years when RUclips recommends this again
Bet
See ya
👌
I’ll be there
See ya around!
No dribble nonsence talking,straight to it. Nice one
That's the most lemon juice I ever seen in 1 cup.
1 super big gulp cup
It's funny cause it still measures to 1 cup
He didnt mention the size of the cup so figure it out
2 years later ain't nobody ever seen a flattop grill but all sitting around watching you clean it making it very satisfying
I'm an electrical engineer suffering from sleep deprivation and youtube suggested me this.
I found it so satisfying to watch and even slept for 6 hours straight.
Thank you for posting this! I knew there had to be a better method than what I was shown!
I dont even know how i Got here i dont own such a Grill - but nice Work Mate
@jordan pastry yea 😂 Just For the Case i decide to buy such a Grill one day 😂
Wow, this was really calming and satisfying to watch. Apparently all I needed to sleep easier was to watch a grill be cleaned. 👀
And scotch brid and 3M bought a kit... Similar concept of using at much higher price...
Thanks you are a life saver
WELL DONE 👏 I take more satisfaction in cleaning and maintaining my flat-top than I do my own person. LEGIT 💯
I've cleaned flat tops thousands of times. Great job, my old chef would approve!
What is the Solution he's spraying on in the Beginning???
@@PeterRamjet check the description for exactly but it’s a food safe griddle cleaner.
What spray is he using
High temp grill cleaner
Have no clue what the hell I’m doing here, but that was really satisfying to watch.
dont ask me how i know but sprite also works instead of the lime juice and water
The citrus. Pickle juice works too
coca cola works too! :)
Citric acid in water. It's the most cost effective way to get the end result. The sugars in the sodas will build up and burn, and the lemon juice is wasteful and expensive.
Dont ask and dont look for me , pee works fine too
Pickle juice I say. PICKLE JUICE. Or pickled jalapeno juice. Or as my Mexican buds used to call it. "Yoos"
this is a great video for people to learn about how lemon or vinegar breaks down charred food in a pan too, its basically deglazing at a collossal level lol!😂
Sure, I guess I’ll learn to clean a flat top grill that I don’t have
Back in high school I worked at restaurant cooking on one of these. We had the bricks that sounded horrible and took forever. I found out by turning heat on high, then got bucket of ice . Just dump ice on grill. Wait a couple minutes, then scrape off. Very easy. No chemicals. Just goes to show, there are many ways to do something.
I’m a km, and Ik at some Higher end restaurants (idek if u worked at one or not) they do not allow chemical cleaning solutions so most times they use the ice trick, grill brick ( both of which u used) and lime or lemon juice. Other restaurants don’t care and use degreaser as shown in the video
You know you're supposed to use a scouring pad under the brick right? Also if you let the grill get this dirty then you've been doing something wrong the whole time, it takes 30 seconds to pour some water on a hot grill, scrape it off and clean 90% of the crap off
@haxorouse3265 no, you don't need to use a scouring pad under the bricks. That's the benefit to the brick is ypu don't need the pad, screen and the tool to scrub with, the brick does the same job. I've cleaned flat tops many different ways and most work about the same if the person doing the work knows what they're doing and takes pride in what they do.
Lost count of how many times I’ve watched this over the years. I don’t even have a house, let alone a kitchen with a flat top.
You've got the job sir ! 👍
Mmmmm what other flavors of Thai icecream will they think of next!!!
David Herbella what why
Becky Ann what do you mean
@@sparrow3100 it's an intelligent, well made joke, for some who don't get it, like you, you're intrigued. For others, well they don't understand so they lash out with anger and disgust or he thought the joke was meant to.be offensive
my guess is that the rolled style.of ice cream uses the same spatula and has many odd colors/flavors America isn't used to so the spatula scraping was prob a reference to the ice cream.
@@Jromestrings 😁👍❤
This is so much easier than what we’d do when I was a line cook. We had neutralle cleaning solution, water it down soak the flattop for 2-3 mins grab a wire brush and put our backs into it for 15 mins
Lol same, using ice and try to clean whatever you can on the 1st cause it's easiest when it's hottest but steam fucks with my hands lol
Worked at Wendy's years ago they use some blue soap slime thing that smells like weird af
At In N Out, we STILL put our backs to it! We scrape all the excess crud off, throw water, then use a grill screen to remove the excess. Its alot of effort and high heat. We also have a fast action solution, but that stuff is strong smelling and our bosses discourage us from using it. After years of cleaning, my back is hurting pretty good after every clean.
Most major fast food chains all use steel brushes and some stupid solution.
Dude this was so effortless why isn't this a comman practice in restaurants.
@@leandroagonzalez3 I asked my store manager about this method. I was told that our grills would suffer damage due to the rapid change in temperature. Im not sure if its BS or true because of our grill design. But it bites. This looks so easy.
"Is this acceptable, Mr. Fring?"
A man of culture I see
Nice
Haha
“Is this acceptable to you, Lyle?”
I was like it's just gonna be a clean job with some spots and traces here and there but this was satisfyingly perfect.
All of y’all crying about “the chemicals being next to the food”.. the high temp grill cleaner is food safe. You could drink it if you wanted to. It’s just glycerin and coloring
@@Tashanamoestadjab don't talk about what you don't know.
Those degreasers smell worse than shit though🤣
You must have smoked a whole lot of crack.
@@codymerrill1105 you must have never worked in a kitchen
That oven cleaner will make you cough the first few weeks of exposure. Then it eats away your finger prints if you don't use gloves.
3 years cleaning kitchens at a hotel.
What is the solution in the spray bottle that breaks up the initial heavy grease?
I want to know too lol
I looked around and it’s under the name of the video the link where to buy the spray it’s called Ecolab grease express high temp grill cleaner
I used to be a prep cook when I was in college and this is exactly how it’s done. Plain water works, and we just used pan spray after but this is legit. I think I watched the whole thing to make sure they did it right idk I’m bored
This is like the 2nd time youtube recommended this to me, i watched it once b4 and decided to watch it again. I dont work in a restaurant or the food and beverage industry. But im gonna watch this til the end. XD
