There is one cupboard staple that you can use to help get rid of grease from your grill tray after you have been cooking. Grilling is a great way to cook things like bacon and sausages, both staples of the best British breakfast. However, the clean up afterwards can be a bit of a pain. But there are ways you can make it easier on yourself and it uses only one cheap thing you likely already have in your cupboard.
Many TikTok and Reddit users have shared their best hacks for getting rid of grease from your grill tray and it seems to be a lifesaver. Plus, it helps you in the garden as well, but we will get to that later. The way to help get rid of grease from your grill tray is to cover it in porridge oats, as shown in one viral video. TikTok creator Katie Chalmers showed off the hack in a viral clip which shows just how easy it is. After she had cooked bacon rashers on the grill, she pours porridge oats on the tray and mixes them around, showing how they soak up much of the grease.
The porridge oats absorb the fat that leaked out of the pieces of bacon while they were cooking, she says. She uses a spatula to mix them around to soak up as much of the fat and grease as she can.
Not only is it a handy way to clean up the grease and fat from the grill tray, but it is also a super useful addition to the garden. After the oats have done their thing on the tray, the TikToker puts them outside on her bird feeder.
“They really will appreciate the extra food,” she said. Her video received quite a reaciton with almost half a million views and thousands of likes and saves. Meanwhile, people took to the comments section of the clip to share their thoughts on the clever life hack.
One person shared: “Thanks for the tip. Bird food is so expensive.”
Many other hacks are used to clean grease after cooking meat on the grill, such as soaking the tray overnight in baking powder and dish soap. Many people also use a mixture of water and vinegar.
These hacks help ease the process of cleaning after grilling, especially when it comes to things like bacon that leak a lot of fat. However, many people still slave over the day for too long, trying to scrub off all the nasty grease.
