That won't work.

Believe me!

No - they're vegetarian.

Well, the bees are. The ants *might* clean it but the soap and water is more certain - and easier.

EASIER!

Soak in caustic soda and use a wire brush, hard scourer or fine grade carborundum paper.

Wire brush for those. After getting red hot...

What good will that do? Dishwashers can't even get teas stains off tea cups.....

On of the doorstep catalogue things, might have been Bettaware, had what looked like a steel thing with an arched slot in it that claimed to do what you want.

We put oven racks in the dishwasher though, as already suggested, ok it doesn't remove the stuff, but it makes it soft enough to wipe off easily. Don't know about barbecue racks - don't like barbecued food ;)

Do you have a dishwasher? It should soften the goo quite nicely.

Also do you have a pressure washer? I've found they blast the softened goo away really well, especially if using a rotating jet.

If using a PW after oven cleaner it'd be best to use a LP jet to rinse it off first.

cheers, Pete.

No, haven't got a space for one, nor the need really.

Something else I've never needed. I think it might be cheaper to buy new shelves :)

Ta anyway,

Pressure washers are wonderful for some applications.

So are sledgehammers :-)

And what you are overlooking is that both are *damn* good fun.

There is that. There's also an alternative which no-one has suggested: eat out.

I wouldn't and I suspect that Si has more sense but if anyone else reads this ...

When I get asked to clean the school's barbi grills, I have found that the best thing is washing powder/liquid solution and a Scotch Bright pad.

Leave to soak for a short while, before using the Scotch Bright.

You can buy Scotch Bright from buy and spew. Look for the type that is used for metal.

HTH

On the other hand, you could always throw the barbi out and buy a new one ;-)

Had this conversation with SWMBO, concensus was that nobody actually "likes" BBQ food, rather, they associate it with the sociable partying that normally goes hand in hand.

Anybody ever solo'd a BBQ?

BBQ food is wonderful - if you do it properly. We do all sorts, kebabs, prawns, chops, steaks.

Weather permitting we BBQ 3 or 4 nights a week.

Would it not be easier to buy a proper cooker? :-)

Hi,

Also depends on the food to start with, Tesco chicken wings and ribs look like they've come from emaciated farm animals.

cheers, Pete.
