Cleaning The Barbeque

Posted: Sun, 6 November 2005 | permalink | No comments

Hi everyone, my name's Matt and I'm a BBQaholic.

Seriously, I love to cook on the barbie. It's outdoors, you get the best smells coming off the searing meat and vegetables, and you can quietly put away a cold beer in the name of culinary exploration.

So, during a visit to the hardware store today, I was suitably interested when I saw a product called "BBQ cleaner". Curious as to what might be so fantastic as to advertise itself as a cleaning product specifically and exclusively for use on my favourite cooking utensil, I took a look at the back.

The first item on the "How To Use" instructions:

  1. Put on rubber gloves.

And there I stopped. Anything that requires rubber gloves to the point of adding an item in the usage instructions specifically to that end (rather than, say, a general blurb saying "wear adequate eye and hand protection whilst using this product" which is standard on everything down to and including toilet paper) is *not* going anywhere near a food preparation surface in my household, Thank You Very Much.
