Have recently purchased a Carri Chef 2 and have been practising regularly in the back garden ready for hols. The top cooking surface of the grill plate comes up lovely and clean fairly easily but underneath is getting very dirty, greasy and sticky and I'm not sure how to tackle it. Would the cadac spray cleaner be the thing or a Mr Muscle type product? There are holes in the BBQ plate so anything sprayed on the back is going to seep through to the top plate so I wouldn't want to risk damaging it.

Thanks

Any degreasing product from the supermarket will do, Cillit bang, Mr Muscle etc. or own-brand. Avoid dishwashing though, this does degrade non-slipness with time.

Thank you for replying. The underside is getting more gunky by the day in this lovely BBQ weather.

Hot water and washing up liquid will take off most of the soft gunk, then give it a go over with Mr Muscle foam oven cleaner for the burnt on stuff (wear gloves!). We loaned ours out last year and got it back, months later, covered in burnt on food, old grease and mould! (It had been lying in back garden of daughter of friend we loaned it to). I could have cried and we thought it wasn't worth saving. Priced new replacement bbq plate, grill and base on line at around £75, then decided to have a go cleaning it up. Husband had to take battery drill with wire brush attachment to parts, but after an evening of soaking and cleaning it came up grand and will give us another 8 years of use hopefully. After a heavy bbq I always squirted washing up liquid over the plate and base and poured in a kettle of boiling water, let it sit for a while and then it's easy to clean.

Thanks

Mine is fairly new but it's rapidly getting nasty underneath. Off to Sainsbury's tomorrow for some Mr Muscle.
