Griller shares simple fix for flare-ups on ceramic grills

Listen to Article

Overview

A content creator known for firearms videos has launched a new channel, The Bacon Report, to share cooking and lifestyle content. In the debut video, he offers a practical tip for managing flare-ups on ceramic grills after discovering that grease buildup on the lower grate was causing uneven cooking and burnt edges on chicken.

Pros

  • Ceramic grills maintain moisture in foods such as chicken, preventing the drying common with other grills.
  • High cooking temperatures above 400° help reduce bacteria on properly cleaned surfaces.
  • Pressure-washing removable grates provides a thorough, low-effort cleaning solution.

Cons

  • Neglecting the lower grate can lead to hidden grease accumulation and sudden flare-ups.
  • The host expressed ongoing dissatisfaction with his current Primo ceramic grill model.

Specs & Tips

  • Recommended cooking temperature in the example: approximately 350°.
  • Weekly brushing of the upper cooking grate; occasional deep cleaning of both grates advised.
  • Tip: Cook on the upper grate only and avoid direct contact between food and any residue on the lower grate.

“I noticed I was getting burnt edges on all of my chicken and it was overcooking way too fast… I realized I was getting all these flare-ups because I was getting fire down here on the lower grill.”

The creator also teased an upcoming unboxing of a new ceramic grill from an undisclosed partner, signaling expanded coverage on The Bacon Report.
