Without a doubt, steel brushes make effective barbecue grill grate cleaners, but they pose two risks – including a serious risk to human health. Not only can they damage the porcelain coating of grill grates, more significantly, they can leave behind tiny slivers of steel strands; and where do you think those metal slivers wind up? In its July 6, 2012 release 61(26);490-492, based on case reports, the CDC warned: “Persons who grill should be aware of the risk for ingestion of wire bristles from grill-cleaning brushes. They should examine their grills or consider alternative methods or products for grill cleaning to reduce exposure and potential injury.”
Eliminate any safety concerns with this clever wooden solution. Its leading edge is hewn to a fairly sharp point that renders it very effective for scraping away charred remnants from your grill’s grate and leaving behind no telltale signs, just a clean, smooth surface ideal for grilling. There’s a notch in one side of the paddle where the user is to place a hand in order to better control the board and increase pressure on the grate. Greater pressure means more friction, hence superior cleaning. Even better, the Scrapesation board becomes even more effective with repeated use. What happens is the leading edge of the board gets shaped by the hot cooking grate so it begins to conform to the shape of the grate.
Besides being an excellent grill scraper, this nifty board fills a number of other valuable roles. For instance, it’s thin enough to serve as a spatula and durable enough for use as a cutting board. The Scrapesation is equally effective as a barbecue platter board onto which you can load the fruits (make that, meats) of your labor for transport to your kitchen counter or dinner table. Since wood doesn't readily transfer heat, the loaded board can remain on the counter or table fulfilling its fourth key role, as a trivet. Finally, use the notch in the board to hook the paddle onto a hot rack and pull it out of the oven. Best of all, the Scrapesation should last the life of your grill. All you have to do to keep it in great shape is to clean it with soap and water only and re-apply butcher block oil or cream once or twice a month.
