Cleaning Viking Rangetop Grill?
How do you clean your Viking rangetop grill? We have a Viking rangetop
grill but have only used it a few times because cleaning it takes something like 2 hours, gets you close to the gas feed line, and, with all the sharp edges, just seems dangerous. Do other customers actually clean their grills thoroughly, inside and out, after each use or do they just empty the drip tray? If you were to only empty the drip tray, will the unit start to smell & attract bugs? Also, to do a thorough cleaning, can you take it apart and put the components into a self-cleaning oven or will they deform? We'd love to use the grill but, with the current issues, it's just not worth the effort. Can anyone help here? Thanks! -- Ben |

Ben, I agree. After a couple of those marathon cleaning sessions I put
a warning to my husband of: "out of order" on the thing. He followed the mfr's directions of keeping the flame on and swiping with wet cloth. That simply made a horrendous mess dripping through and burning on to all the underneath parts. Now I make do with the broiler and the griddle which covers 2 burners. That thing is really wonderful, as I can cook an entire meal on it. Keep the back burner on low to keep something warm, and the front on high. It cleans up fairly easily and, being black, I don't know if it's showroom clean or not -- nor do I care. Joan |

Joan, doesn't the fat from normal grilling also drip through to the
drip tray? If not, then I'm wondering if I've got the thing set up correctly. Thanks! -- Ben jes wrote: > Ben, I agree.

Thanks! > -- Ben Eventually, yes, but there are several parts to get their share of grease on the way to the drip tray. We only used ours a few times for some fairly greaseless steak, so I'm just not too experienced. (But still had an awful mess to clean up.) You might want to check with the Viking manual for set-up. If you don't have one, maybe there's one on-line. A cleaning tip someone passed on to me: spray the parts with oven cleaner and put them in a big plastic bag and seal and leave overnight. Joan |
