Let’s be honest: A good grill brush can be hard to find. For one thing, it doesn’t take long for many models to become as gunked up as what they were cleaning, requiring you to scrub and de-grease them before you can use them to clean your grill. For another, lesser-built models shed their bristles after sometimes only a few uses. We’ve assembled a few grill brushes that will handle the job and do it well.
Revolutionary
There has been considerable concern about aging grill brushes leaving pieces on your cooking space. The Grill Rescue Brush seeks to address that concern with a synthetic, heat-resistant brush that uses water and the heat of your grill to clean without leaving anything behind. And instead of destroying your sponge or fingers trying to clean the wire brush that cleaned your grill, these brushes can simply be run through the dishwasher after their work is done.
Make short work of it
With 6.7 inches of contact space, this stainless steel brush rips through the gunk on your grill with little effort, five times faster than other models according to the manufacturer. It’s easy to understand why. The 18-inch handle, a surface area with roughly three times more bristles than most grill scrubbers, offers an easy experience.
Effective tool
We like the soft grip and the 3-roll design of this wire. It’s longer than most, so it spares your hands the heat, and its shape allows for a better reach to those far-away places on your grill. It’s tough and can take a lot of pressure, yet the quality of the brushes prevents scratching as it cleans. That quality, and the 18-inch arm, allow for vigorous cleaning efforts without damaging your grates, regardless of their makeup.
A brand staple
Built with the look of its polished metal collection, the Cuisinart brush offers consistency, durability, and dependability. The 16.5-inch-long brush allows deep reaches, and the handle, which is made from smooth stainless steel, is designed at an angle that facilitates cleaning. Because of its high-quality materials, cleaning is less cumbersome as well.
Safety and reliability
There’s a lot to like about Char-Broil’s re-imagining of the grill brush, starting with their technologically advanced nylon brushes, which are five times thicker than usual grill brushes. Did we mention they were bright red? The red, says the manufacturer, is for high visibility. Meaning if any piece does come off, you’ll know where it is and know how to remove it. The nylon, too, is kinder on porcelain and chrome, scratching less. And the bristles are angled nicely to get between grates. The head is removable to clean and replace, and this scraper does its job.
