You Will Need

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• A grill brush
• Nonstick cooking spray

• 

  Step 1.

  Scrape with foil

  Immediately after you’re finished cooking, make a ball of aluminum foil and scrub the still-warm grill rack surface with it, taking care not to burn your fingers.

• 

  Step 2.

  Lay down foil

  Place a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil across the grill, close the lid, and turn the heat on high.

• 

  Step 3.

  Heat

  Let the grill heat for about 15 minutes.

• 

  Step 4.

  Scrape

  Using a grill brush, scrape off the remaining food bits, which have been loosened by the heat.

• For an even easier clean up, put a long piece of foil under the rack and wrap the ends up and over the top of the grill before heating. Then when it’s cool, peel back the top layer of foil and use the grill brush to scrape the food particles directly onto the foil underneath.

• 

  Step 5.

  Spray

  Make future cleanups even easier by spraying the grill with a nonstick cooking spray while it’s still off.

• Northeasterners do the most outdoor grilling in U.S.

Not exactly the most frugal way to clean considering the current economic climate. 15 mins of gas when 2 mins of elbow grease would achieve the required result. The foil underneath to catch the crud was a good tip though. Hmm, maybe we need a "How To Clean a Gas Grill With Unlimited Budget" competition!
