- What's the best way to keep you grill from sticking? This video challenge takes on 3 different ways of preparing your grill from sticking. I demonstrate the 3 methods while cooking seasoned chicken breasts. Please comment and subscribe... I have more grilling videos coming up soon!
Olive oil is good, and it comes in a non-stick spray form. I just spray it on both sides of the meat before cooking instead of putting it on the grill. You can't spray the grill with the flame on, and it gets burnt off while the grill is heating. Put on the meat it's just where it need to be and it gets refreshed when you turn.
Great tip! Thanks!
I have that same weber grill. I bought it 2005. Still cooks great. I even have that same little light on the hood handle.
It's a great grill and very versatile.
Sunflower oil will be the best. Spray is most convenient. Usually i heat up and my brush my grill clean. When extremely dirty I'll dip paper towel in water and give it a wipe when it's hot. The trick of spray is get the grill smoking hot. Turn off the fire then spray oil on grill. Then immediately turn back on and put ur meat on. Pretty simple
I normally use olive oil. I'll have to try sunflower oil. Thanks!
You can spray the Weber grill spay directly on a hot and flaming grill. It won’t flame up
Great call on washing tongs after touching raw chicken. I do the same, no need for food poisoning lol! I use grape seed oil and a silicone basting brush - works like a charm 👍
Thanks for the advice, I'll have to try that out.
This is the most important video on RUclips!
the wipes seem like a hassle to me, but It may depend on what kind of food your cooking, and what kind of grates you have. i just bought a new grill and im planning on using the weber spray for speed if im cooking for myself. If im entertaining ill probably use olive oil. When I cook steaks and other cuts of meat I usually brush them with olive oil before i season them to help the seasoning stick better.
Yeah Vincent, the wipes and spray can easily be stored in the grill, which is convenient. I have cast iron grates, so I like to keep a fair amount of oil around to keep them from rusting. The spray will last you a long time, so it's cheaper overall. Thanks for the comments!
To be honest, even if the olive oil would have been on the last place, I would always use this instead of the other two, because you don't know exactly what "stuff" it is, you put on your grill and on your meat. Always go for the obviously healthier stuff ... Just my two cents 😉✌️
Makes sense, olive oil works well too. We like buying a big bottle from Trader Joes. It lasts a long time and has a nice pour top on it.
You don't know exactly what is in the olive oil either. A lot of alleged olive oil has been found to be adulterated or completely fake.
Never olive oil, heats and smokes away at only 250 degrees, use Saff or Sunflower oil. Not spray, get's all over internal parts. Use a half of potato to wipe Sunflower oil on a hot grill!
Great advice, I'll try it next time.
Thought that was updated - “However, 2018 research published in Acta Scientific Nutritional Health shows that not only is extra virgin olive oil safe when cooked to extremely high temperatures, it is more chemically stable at those heats than other common cooking oils.”
Pretty sure olive oil is 350-375
Man am I jealous of all that snow behind your deck....Here in San Jose California we don't get any of that....anywho, I've had a bottle of the Weber Spray in my cupboard for a few months, going to try it on some fresh ground burgers tonight. I'll let you know how it works out, thanks for the video!
Burgers on the grill sounds great!
The spray worked great!!! No sticking whatsoever, going to try it on a few different meats over the next couple weeks, thanks for the tip!
I prefer a spray for convienience but they just have become so expensive. I'm thinking that pouring a little olive oil in a small bowl and applying it with a silicone brush might be the cost effective way to go. I often am using frozen steak or chicken straight from the freezer in zip bags. I like to spray both sides along with the grill (stainless).
I attach a small piece of paper towel to the handle end of a plastic spatula and then do the dip and apply as you mentioned. It is narrow enough to skip the bowl and take it directly from the bottle.
in mexico we use half onion to clean it
I've used onions to clean my cast iron pan before. It works well!
At the moment i prefer some normal olive oil but i think i will give the Wipes and the weber spray a chance
Herbythegerman It all comes down to convenience and if you want to spend a little more $. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for the video. I'm curious if you had noticed... after using all three... if cleanup of the grill grates was easier on the section you use the Weber Spray, or the Olive Oil, or the Grill Wipes? Which section cleaned up easier? Thanks so much Mark. :-)
Thanks so much, I haven't ever noticed any difference when it comes to cleanup. I always let the grill warm all the way up before cleaning and it's really a breeze.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks so much for your quick reply Mark. Yes, I will try your suggestion of heating up the grates, and then scraping them with the wire brush. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👍
Thanks, you too. I've also had good luck with one of those oak wood grill scrapers, if the grill is especially messy.
Good video.. but instead of a gas grill I use my UCO flat pack portable grill and fire pit that I recently purchased.... with charcoal... and my application corn oriole worked better than olive oil but I have never tried the spray that you have I’m looking forward to testing them all... i’ll try to post a video if I can learn how to use this phone!! Lol
Charcoal is awesome! Good luck with your phone!
thanx for the demo
You bet!
I lightly brush Olive oil on my food then season, works like a charm. I never put anything directly on my Weber Genesis stainless steel grates.
_In fact I clean and rinse between uses with their Weber Scrubbing Pads. I don't want to risk my family ingesting a piece of wire. I BBQ 4-5 times a week._
I use olive oil as well. I've heard that the spiral wire is much safer than the wire bristle brush. I'll have to try the scrubbing pads.
markthomasbuilder
The spiral is supposably safer, but after I've reading all the horror stories I've since stopped. Just passing along what I've learned.
Those Webber scrubbers work well, but just in a straight back and forth way. A 3 pack is good for 12-18 front/back full cleanings, and I personally rinse them off in the sink while cleaning.
The stainless cleans up well with Isopropyl alcohol which is what I use or you can use a stainless steel cleaner, and the occasional polish on the cover metal (straps and thermometer) is a good practice. Living in Florida pitting is a problem.
Also, there's a good line of Weber Stainless Steel cookware that I've been really pleased using. However, the iGrill 3 .. while I use it because I bought it with the grill I think I'd had preferred it if Weber kept the older iGrill 2 digital readout. Too often my phone loses connect. If you don't have a wireless probe already I'd consider getting a ThermoPro (TP20).
Anyway .. good luck and I hope you're enjoying your Weber. 😎
markthomasbuilder
Well I feel dumb .. I also watched someone putting together a Genesis II .. and I thought that was the reply. Sorry I just was watching a couple Weber videos.
What about if the chicken is marinated in a liquid marinade? My fear is applying the oil would remove the marinade.
good test. Have you done it in a cast aluminum grate ?
Do you spray on when grill is hot or before heating grill with the weber grill spray?
I like to warm up the grill and about 4-5 minutes later clean it off with the brush. After that I spray it and let the grill continue to warm up. I may give a quick spray a minute before putting the food on.
That's what works for me. Hope it helps.
hi there :) . i see you are using cast iron grates, right?
got a small question, i just bought yesterday a weber E-310 premium gas BBQ, and i seasoned my grate once with pinut oil before using the BBQ. After using the BBQ, i brushed a little the grate with a Weber bamboe brush to take away rests of meat, but it was starting to get too dark to clean well the grate so i'm planning to do it today. i bought a cleaning spray from Weber for grates to remove grease, but on the cleaning spray, they advise to use the spray, and then clean the grate with warm water. I understood that one thing you want to avoid with cast iron is Rust and that you can better avoid contact with water! so my question is...is it safe to clean a cast iron grate with water after using a cleaning spray? i saw your grate looks clean and i want to maintain it well, but i'm not sure if it's just good enough to brush it, and then just only season it again before each use. how do you get your grate so clean of grease between 2 uses?
thanks a lot for your help and any information about this :) .
Arnaud Salembier These are some great questions that I address in a video that I'm currently working on. I'll probably have it published in the next 24 hours. I'm testing out the Weber Grill Grate Cleaner Spray along with Weber Grate Grill Scrubber. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
***** hi...thanks for your fast reply... i will definitly check this out.
What i understood from Weber cast iron grates is that they are coated... and this kinda prevent from rusting...so i guess i will just follow the instructions on the cleaner... which is to use the cleaner, and then wash the grate with warm water. then i guess i will dry them at high temperature in the weber and then oil them again for next use.
The smoke point for olive oil is only 325-375°F; it's actually a poor choice for grilling IMHO. One should use oils such as Safflower oil which has a smoke point of 510°F, or at least canola oil which smokes at 400°F.
Coconut oil is the best !
nurul soheil Coconut oil has a smoke point of 350 F. It's no better than olive oil.
That is great will try
Have fun👍
I believe olive is carcinogenic at or around 400 degrees, I would use coconut oil!
couchpoet1 Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into that. I seem to hear a lot of people talking about coconut lately as part of a healthy diet.
couchpoet1 Believe what you want, but science doesn't care about your beliefs:
scienceornot.net/2012/09/15/is-it-safe-to-cook-with-olive-oil/
***** No worries, your concern is unwarranted. There's no science to backup the claim that olive oil is carcinogenic at 400 degrees. That said, any oil that smokes is toxic...
If you really payed attention, grilled food in general is a carcinogen. Still gonna eat it.
@@EnochLight Yeah, we can rely on some random blog for scientific answers.
Good stuff thanks! I have used the Weber Spray on my cast-iron weber grates for several years now and it's the best method for me. Safest and easiest because your hand can be farther from the grill than the other methods. My one beef about it though is that it is difficult to find. Target, Fred Meyer, Safeway, and several others don't carry it, and Amazon doesn't even have it available (well, at least as a Prime option). Luckily, I have a Home Depot right around the corner, which is where I bought my 2 original cans. Hopefully they still carry it since I am almost out.
+Jim Greulich Home Depot and Lowes here in Michigan have a good Weber selection, including the spray. Target has a minimal selection of grilling stuff, so I rarely go there for grilling accessories. Thanks for commenting!
You needed a section of untreated grill to use as a baseline. Also try the raw potato rub trick.
Good idea. I'll have to try that trick, thanks!
You should do the test again with tilipia. Chicken doesn’t really stick if you leave it alone enough
I've done some wings on the grill lately and they seemed to stick. I'll have to try tilapia someday. Sounds good with some fresh squeezed lemon.
What about using half of an onion? I've heard it works but never tried it
Virgil Cross That's a good point to bring up. My experience with rubbing half an onion is that it helps to season the the cast iron over time, which gives it the natural non-stick property. I don't think an onion works as well as oil. Does anyone else have any experience with this???
What if you oiled your onion? I know that sounds dirty lol but I'm being serious..... Would the two properties help each other in doing the job?
Wondering is plain water from a spray bottle would do the same thing. If you look at the ingredients on the Weber stray, water is the first ingredient.
I'm sure it's mostly oil and a little bit of something that has a non stick property.
Tu for the comparison I noticed the spray did not glam up. Unlike Pam spray.
You bet! Lately I've been using Olive oil because we bought a big bottle at Trader Joes.
markthomasbuilder I tried your method of olive oil and for the first time since I’ve been grilling my chicken did not stick tu
i fried an egg on my grill with the weber spray. no sticking whatsoever. that'll do me.
Cool! I use my spray all the time.
I did that was good experience
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Go with olive oil cause you can use it for other things as well
Good idea! We normally get a big bottle of Olive Oil at Trader Joes.
I prefer the olive oil it's healthy
omar Alzoman That's true and it's the most cost effective method.
My goto is Weber spray
I like it too!
The olive oil would last the longest in terms of quantity.
That's what I mostly use now.
I’d love to buy a Weber but I won’t cause the simple fact it’s aluminum.
I like the cast iron on this grill. There's an option of aluminum replacement grills, but that doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me.
Vegatable oil works Too
Sometimes I use that when we run out of olive oil.
@@MarkThomasBuilder my grandma used car oil 60 years ago
As a control one section should have remained untreated.
221 Baker Noted with thanks. Approximately 10% of the chicken normally sticks to my grill when untreated.
Oh my god no!!! You don’t scrub a cold grill. You warm it first. This guy is a total newbie. That promotes the wires to fall off & onto your food. Always scrub a hot grill.
Kierre Hodges The grill is preheated to over 400 degrees as he states if you pay attention.
forrest42 fake news, he didn’t show us
@@forrest42 You are correct. He actually tells us that he has been preheating it, and it is now 400 degrees.
u scare me
