The 10 Best Grill Scrapers

With a little pressure and a lot of heat, you can burn custom-fit grooves that match your grill's grates perfectly into the flat head of The Great Scrape Woody Pro (appx. $40). The tip is replaceable, so you can purchase extras for use with differently-shaped bars.

The Grill Daddy Value Pack (around $29) boasts a unique design with a V-shaped blade and a compartment for water, which turns to steam when it touches hot grates, rinsing away tough residues with minimal effort. Plus, the head is dishwasher-safe for a quick and easy cleanup.

Crafted from solid hickory wood, the GrillSafe Premium (appx. $26) has a scalloped blade that molds to the shape of your grates over time, so the more you use it, the better it gets. Unlike wire brushes, it's easy to wipe clean and won't collect old grease buildup.

Featuring a 3-in-1 360° head, the GrillArt BBQ (about $17) works up to 5 times faster than traditional brushes. Its stainless steel wires are tightly woven and securely attached, so you won't need to worry about shedding, and it's backed by a lifetime refund or replacement guarantee.

Sporting a brass head with openings in a variety of shapes and sizes, the Martin Grill Gadget Universal (appx. $20) will work on almost any type of grate. It eliminates the risk of wire bristles ending up in your food, but since it cleans only one bar at a time, it can take a while.

In addition to cleaning, the New Star Foodservice Slant Edge (about $6) can be used as a spatula or for chopping and dicing ingredients while cooking on a flat-top griddle. The heavy-duty blade has just the right amount of give, so you can also press burgers without it bending.

With its three stainless steel coils, the Grillaholics Professional (appx. $20) makes quick work of burnt-on residue, but is still gentle enough to use on delicate surfaces, including porcelain and ceramic. Plus, it has a handy metal ring on the end for hanging.

The BBQ-Aid No Scratch (around $20) features a three-inch-wide blade for loosening burnt-on buildup, along with a stiff metal brush to remove grease and other residue. It has a good, sturdy feel and a handsome look you'll be proud to show off at your next cookout.

Unlike many other options, the CharGon Ultimate (around $20) can remove debris from the top, bottom, and underside of each bar. Its angled tip and contoured sides allow you to safely clean both hot and cold surfaces, and the rosewood handle is firmly attached with four rivets.

The Sanfee Stainless Steel (around $11) offers ten different grooves for both round and V-shaped grill bars, along with a flat surface for griddles and an integrated bottle opener. It's compact and portable, making it perfect to take with you for a day at the park or beach.
