Essentials Nylon Grill Brush

Great brush. Cleans grill grate very well!

This brush works great cleans up well. Highly recommended it.

Bought this on the advice of our local Ace Hardware/Weber grill rep who told us that the traditional metal scrapers take a layer of metal off your grill grates. The trick with this brush is that you have to wait for your grill to be completely cooled off. It works like a charm as long as you've let the grill burn off any "gunk" leftover from grilling meat, veggies, etc. Have had this for several months and it's still doing great - no bristles falling out, handle remains sturdy, etc. Recommend!

Awesome brush . Best one I’ve had in a long time. Cleans thoroughly

I bought this second brush after owning and using one for about the last 5 years (nylon brush), but there was a time when I didn't know there was such a thing and didn't know how important it was until I experienced the problem myself. Imagine this, you are home alone, the rest of the family is out, and you decide to cook a meal for yourself because the others are going to eat out with their group. I fire up the grill, give it a clean with my standard wire brush as I always do and have for 20 years+, and think nothing of it. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" isn't it? I cook the meat over the grill taking time to season it well and cook perfectly. Sit down to enjoy the meal when all of a sudden I am choking. Did I put too much food in, or it get stuck? Not at all, food wasn't even involved, a single wire sliver of metal has lodged itself at the back of my throat and is embedded in my tonsil/throat area curved and embedded on two sides digging further into my throat walls. The more I tried to swallow (inadvertently of course, just the bodies reaction to what is happening), the more pain I felt as the wire embedded itself further into my throat walls, slowing drilling in due to the fact it was touching both sides of the back of my throat. I gagged and gagged, and looked around for anything to figure out what the heck was wrong! I ran to the bathroom, eyes nearly closed with tears coming out of my eyes due to the gagging and reaction, and looked into the mirror with my phone light trying to see what the issue was, I didn't have much time left! I could feel myself getting weaker as my body kept trying to remove the obstruction automatically, coughing, and wrenching my stomach from the gag reflex, trying to react to the problem! I struggled, and struggled to get a good look between the convulsions and see what the matter was when I realized whatever it was too far down my throat to see the problem. In a panic and stroke of luck, I could figure it was not organic at all, something possibly glass from food sourced issue, or something metallic based on the needle type of pain it felt to maybe be. I decided to see if I could confirm the construction, I ran to the garage nearby and stuck a long screwdriver down my throat with a magnetic head on it, to see if the item was ferrous in nature (iron made construction/steel), and the screwdriver attracted to it. Well, I am in luck, I know what it is now and can now get an idea of where it is with the screwdriver. Still in very much of a panic, I could feel my body getting weaker as it struggled to maintain this sort of activity and convulsing, I really felt like my eyes were getting heavy and I was going to possibly pass out, potentially lose the ability to remove the obstruction on my own if I didnt do something quick. I reached for a set of needle nose electricians pliers in my tool box and made several attemps down my throat to grab the piece of metal wire in there. After what seemed like a day and only really seconds in real time, the 6 or 7th seemingly futile attempt was successful. I could feel the instant difference as my body came to terms with the removal of the obstruction, I glanced down at my smart watch, over 180 beats per minute for the last 3 minutes, I was not going to make it much longer at that pace in my 40's without probably passing out. I tell you this information, based on me learning the hard way that wire and food, DONT MIX!! I found out later that evening after some more discovery that the wire brush had lost a few bristles on the food grates and with the bristles being dirty with food grease and the grill being the same, it was impossible to see that the bristle would bend/rust off the brush and stick to the grill. Later food would be cooked on said grill and had the potential to deposit on the food and be ingested. EATING wires, not only did this give me huge pause to worry about the steak I was eating, but wonder if metal had ever been ingested by the children and other family members and friends who had ever eaten at our home. I looked over the internet to find this is a known thing, more known today then it was 5 to 10 years ago like me, but still. It was known that this can happen with wire brushes and yet they continue to be sold and used by many with their food preparation areas. Don't think this was just a, "well your grill was very dirty to not notice a wire on the grates or food". No, the grill was very clean and burned off even between each cook. It was just that the wires are black, the grill grates are black and who could notice? My point, dont buy wire based brushes for use with grills. Nylon bristle are very tough, handle heat well (though dont put in direct flame for long), and have no side effect from being ingested as much as rusty steel wires of course. Nylon bristles also melt in the flame over time if it even happened, and the nylon is a vibrant red color for a reason, to be seen. Even then, I have yet to see a single bristly break from my brush, much less I would not notice it when it would happen due to the easy to see color. I highly recommend using before the grill is too hot to maintain longevity, but it can actually handle some very hot heat indirectly. You have been warned, and I only retell this story to inform others of the real danger it poses to you and anyone that eats with you.

To preface this review, I do not enjoy cooking. My husband did 99% of the cooking, but he passed away a year ago. Since convenience foods and eating out are not sustainable options, I've been stepping out of my comfort zone and learning to cook. It's been... an adventure. This summer, I purchased a small, electric patio grill. It has ceramic grates so using a wire brush is not an option (and I wouldn't use one even if it was.) I found this brush and based on the reviews, decided to purchase it. I used it the day it was delivered. Everything was going great--the food tasted amazing and my daughter loved dinner. I felt like a rockstar. When dinner was over, I went outside to clean the grill. I turned the heat off and immediately began brushing the grate. I went from feeling like a rockstar to feeling like an idiot in record time when I realized that I had melted the crap out of my new grill brush. At that point, all I could do is laugh at myself. A few days later, I got an email from the seller asking how I liked the grill brush. I didn't respond. A couple days after that, I got another email from the seller. This time I responded and said "I melted it." The next day, the seller emailed me back and told me that they were sending out a new brush. I told them that although I really appreciated that, I certainly did not expect them to replace a brush that was destroyed due to user error. They sent a replacement anyway, and it works great! The product really is a good product. It cleans the grill really well and I don't have to worry about it shedding. But the thing that makes this product excellent is the amazing customer service from the seller.

Does a great job. Protects the porcelain grates.

Great grill brush. Works great on a "cold" grill!

Cleans grill good don't have to worry about metal
